Marijn Taal | 296 comments Hello,

I would like to request an update to this Goodreads webpage: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1....

The webpage states the book title as 'Handboek voor ridders: word razendsnel een goede r', but breaks off prematurely. It should be 'Handboek voor ridders. Word razendsnel een goede ridder'.

The webpage states that it is by an 'unknown author' but the author is Sam Taplin.

It can be added that the book has 80 pages. The illustrations are by Ian McNee, design by Stephen Wright, Lesley Sims is the editor, Dr. Craig Taylor is the consultant and additional design was done by Matt Durber. The cover design of the Dutch translation is by Neil Francis and Design Team Kluitman. The Dutch translation itself is by Almar Berends. It is from 2007. The webpage has the language as 'Dutch; Flemish' but it is just Dutch.

Thank you for your help!

Sincerely,

Marijn Taal

Designers, editors and cover designers should not be credited as contributors on GR.

On the book edit page, the chosen language from the drop-down menu is Dutch, but since GR has designed the new book page, it displays as Dutch;Flemish on the book page. In the link to the edition I've included above, you can see that it says Dutch.

Question: do you have the description of the back cover in Dutch?

This Dutch edition should be combined with the English editions: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio..., but the combine function is down due to maintenance at the moment. I'll bookmark this thread to come back to it once it is working again.


Marijn Taal | 296 comments Dear Arenda,

Thank you very much! I understand. Thank you for coming back later to combine the editions.

The description of the back cover in Dutch is as follows:

'Wil jij niet langer de stoere ridder spelen, maar er ook een zijn? Ben jij toe aan een glanzend harnas en een mooi kasteel? Wil je, kortom, een echte ridder worden? Gooi dan je nepzwaard aan de kant en lees dit handboek. Hierin vind je alles wat een ridder zou moeten weten, zoals de juiste vechttechnieken en hoe je zelf een fantastisch familiewapen kunt ontwerpen. Dus stop dit boek in je maliënkolder en werp je in de strijd. De vijand zal niet weten wat hem overkomt.'
