Turtleback[edit]

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

From the newsgroup alt.usage.english [1] :

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Bachmanbooks.JPG[edit]

Image:Bachmanbooks.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
