Ellery Queen - Identifying Foreign books |
|
|
One of the biggest problems in my continuous search for Foreign covers for Ellery Queen editions is not so much the language. As long as the Latin letters are used everything is pretty basic. The problem starts when an other alphabet is used: Greek, Hebrew, Cyrillic and Arabic alphabet come to mind (I'm not even including Eastern symbols). .. These covers I was able to find, (and I'm sure there are Ellery Queen editions) The exact original titles are a problem. For translations I used a translation 'robot' which comes up as enigmatic jibbirish. They proof a pleasant challenge in itself... Bear in mind that the dates could refer to the date of reissue.
Here are the
first requests from Israel. The game's afoot! |

Ellery Queen -
International editions There is a wanted page up in Dutch, so if you're up to it go there. If you have crisp copies of editions in your country
and could mail me a good scan (height of the image at least 768). The
Q.B.I. section will point out which scans I have or
don't have. But it's not all scans we want. We have been well
aware of EQ international appeal and it is a painstaking work to catalogue
all foreign titles on the correct page of it's original volume. If you could
contribute here please do. Especially readers from Japan, China, Taiwan or Korea are very welcome to help us out on some questions we have regarding Ellery Queen covers... Could you help?
