Safranot and safranim, I wanted to test my assumption that no library with a Yiddish collection has a copy of the following book (romanzized title) :
Eisner, Will. _An Opmakh Mit Got_ (Amsterdam : Lambiek). I am inquiring about the Yiddish translated version, NOT the transliterated version. Since, my library does not subscribe to OCLC, RLIN or a similar service, I searched, one by one, 28 catalogs of libraries that have Yiddish collections (list is below). Of these 28, I only found 3 libraries that carried the title, but 2 of thses (Yale and Hebrew University) have the transliterated title, not the translation. I am not sure about YIVO's copy, as the full catalog record was not provided ; YIVO may be the only American library with the Yiddish edition. If anyone out there has a Yiddish collection (which is not on the list) and would tell me whether or not their library has a copy of Eisner's Yiddish book, I would appreciate it. I might have the opportunity to present an argument at an upcoming book expo that publishers need to do more to publicize their publications (especially to Judaica libraries). B'shalom, Steven M.
