Talk:The Bachman Books

Turtleback
What is turtleback? Punctured Bicycle 10:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * From the newsgroup alt.usage.english :

When I worked in a public library, we occasionally said "turtleback" to refer to a paperback book that had had its paper covers replaced, for the sake of durability, with hard thick laminated cardboard with the designs from the original covers printed on them. I think the process might have been done by a company called "Turtle" or "Turtle Board" or something.


 * There is actually a company called Turtleback Books (http://www.turtleback.com) but it seems to specialise in children's and educational titles. 217.155.20.163 20:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I found a new copy of the Bachman books in a Dutch bookstore. Any idea on how that was possible? Zeck 11:17, 6 August 2006 (UTC)


 * What's the ISBN? If you give us that, I could look into it. -- LGagnon 15:04, 6 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure about other countries, but in the United States it's out-of-print, with each novel-the exception being "Rage"-being sold separately.


 * I suppose you could buy "Rage" on eBay, although I've never checked.

 * It may have been the UK edition, which is still in print - I have amended the article accordingly. 217.155.20.163 11:52, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
