Chevra: Recently reading the new annotated "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Prof. Henry Louis Gates Jr, he says that there have been 17 editions in Hebrew. This strikes me as a VERY large number for a relatively small reading population, especially considering that the number of Hebrew readers would likely have been small throughout the mid-19th century heyday of the book. Are any list'ers in a position to confirm or refute this claim? I count six in Worldcat:
