French term

feuilletez-le vite

French to English Marketing Advertising / Public Relations
This is a mail order catalog for women's fashion. The expression I'm asking about appears a number of times in the letter accompanying the catalog, and I can't seem to find a nice enough term for it. Here are some examples:

- Le Printemps s'annonce et voici déjà notre nouveau catalogue. Feuillez-le vite pour y découvrir.......

- Il n'y a plus à hésiter pour s'offir les dernières tendances. Alors feuilletez vite votre nouveau catalogue.

Philip Taylor Dec 6, 2004:
I think R�nat's suggestion above - "Open it now" - is actually best here.
roneill Dec 4, 2004:
I see what you mean. Perhaps something like "open it now" would work
Non-ProZ.com Dec 4, 2004:
Hi Ronat, what they're saying is "hurry up and look at it now". As Mark suggests, they want you to take a good long look at it, they just want you to do it right away.

Take a quick look through.....

"Browse" might also be a possibility, although that seems to imply a more leisurely activity than glancing through te catalogue.

Don't delay looking

at our new catalogue, special offers etc

I would have thought that the idea is not so much that they take a quick look, as that they quickly take a hopefully long look and ultimately buy something!

agree writeaway : yup-quick, look here! not have a quick look :-)

or something equivalent
- but I would opt for the opposite formulation - of course they mean "hurry up and look at it now, don't wait to open it" BUT also take the time to read it!

Don't delay! Thumb/browse through...

A combination of answers above. I would put it this way:

Don't delay! Thumb (OR browse) through it to discover...

So don't delay! Thumb (OR browse) through your new catalogue...
