== 'Pioneer of the Dutch Film Poster: Dolly Rudeman 1902-1980' by Paul van Yperen ==

{{tl|resolved}}

A link is [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=zhk3OQAACAAJ&dq=Dolly+Rudeman&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiCwPvK0ZLSAhUFaxQKHXPCAdoQ6AEINzAG here]. I'm working on an English article for Dolly Rudman (it's [[User:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi/Dolly Rudeman|here]], in a very embryonic state! -which also demonstrates the paucity of sources in English general.) There's an article on the [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_Rudeman nl.wiki], but the machine translation is v poor. Any help appreciated :) --[[User:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi|<span style="color:maroon; text-shadow:#666362 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;">'''O Fortuna!'''</span>]][[User talk:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi|<span style="color:navy">^{'''''...Imperatrix mundi.'''''}</span>]] 17:41, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

:{{re|Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi}} What part of this book do you need? Note that we can't handle full book scans. We could send you a table of contents and allow you to choose where to go from there. ~ [[User:BU Rob13|<b>Rob</b><small>₁₃</small>]]<sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">[[User talk:BU Rob13|Talk]]</sup> 19:32, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

::Yes, thanks very much {{u|BU Rob13}}, got that- well. I don't really know; since it's something I have zero-knowledge on, I was thinking just a few pages covering relevant periods- early years, major works, later years. Something like that. Se, the article is never going to be much more than start class (by me anyway!) but it would be good to flesh it out a bit. How easy is it for you/s?

:::{{re|Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi}} This book appears to be exceedingly rare. [http://www.worldcat.org/title/pioneer-of-the-dutch-film-poster-dolly-rudeman-1902-1980/oclc/716745155&referer=brief_results See WorldCat]. The only two copies in the United States are in a university in New York (where it's part of a special collection - unlikely to be eligible for interlibrary loan) and a research institute in Los Angeles (unlikely to engage in interlibrary loan at all). I happen to be likely to travel close to one of those areas in the somewhat near future, so I'll see what I can do. This one will likely take a while, though. It could be as far away as summer before I manage it. ~ [[User:BU Rob13|<b>Rob</b><small>₁₃</small>]]<sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">[[User talk:BU Rob13|Talk]]</sup> 19:41, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

::::Thank you very much {{u|BU Rob13}}, that's very kind- but please don't bother. If it's as rare as that- WP:RSN probably? In any case, no point in going to that much trouble for something like this. <small>Does {{u|Drmies}} do translations I wonder ;) *scratch chin*</small> [[User:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi|<span style="color:maroon; text-shadow:#666362 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;">'''O Fortuna!'''</span>]][[User talk:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi|<span style="color:navy">^{'''''...ImpFortuna Imperatrix Mundieratrix mundi.'''''}</span>]] 19:56, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

:::::Not right now, but remind me tomorrow or this weekend. [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 22:57, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

::::::{{re|Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi}} Its definitely a reliable source. The reason it's so rare is that it was produced only to accompany one specific exhibition as a sort of extended program in a sense, from what I can tell. When the exhibition was finished, most copies were probably lost or destroyed. It doesn't appear it was ever publicly made available, so libraries didn't have a chance to grab it unless donated (as in the case of Binghamton). Certainly an interesting history attached to this item. ~ [[User:BU Rob13|<b>Rob</b><small>₁₃</small>]]<sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">[[User talk:BU Rob13|Talk]]</sup> 01:32, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

::::::: A couple of libraries in Chicago have the [http://www.worldcat.org/title/pionier-van-het-nederlandse-filmaffiche-dolly-rudeman-1902-1980/oclc/71672211&referer=brief_results Dutch version]. The entire book's only 71 pages including illustration, so maybe the biography section is a manageable length for copying/translation.

::::::::{{reply|BlackcurrantTea}} thanks very much for the information. That errainly sounds more manageable than I expected- but it could still be a helluva translation project! Which I wouldn't expect anyone to undertake; the .nl article is one thing- <250 words- but that could be something else :o Thanks again though!

::Absolutely. I may get back to this later today--translating/paraphrasing that bit from that book is no big chore, and I'm going to leave the cleanup to you. :) [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 18:12, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

:::::{{re|Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi}} Sadly, not going to be able to do this one after all. The university I thought I could get access at holds this in their rare books section which has all sorts of restrictions on scanning texts.

::::::{{reply|BU Rob13}} No problem. Thanks for trying- and more to the point, not forgetting! <small>(unlike me)</small>. That's a common stumbling block of course, and one I'm somewhat surprised you don't encounter more often with all the esoterica you get asked for here :) Take care, and thanks again.
