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). .. The exact original titles are the problem. For translation of the accompanying text I used a translation 'robot'. This sometimes results in enigmatic gibberish or simply to generic a title. It proofs to be a pleasant challenge in itself... The game's afoot! If you have suggestions or similar covers do contact us! Here are some
covers from Japan.

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. Could you help?
