I obtained this Festschrift for a single paper “Fact and Imagination in theHistory of Hezekiah (II Kgs. 18-20).” by  E. van den Berg that I had seenreferred to several times in my research on Sennacherib and Hezekiah. It

 proved quite difficult to obtain. The closest library that had this title was inupstate New York about 200-300 miles away from my location. I decided toorder the volume through the publisher and made my payment with Paypaland then waited and waited and waited…without even an orderacknowledgement. After a few weeks I had to investigate through Paypal todiscover that order had not been received. After about two months I finallyreceived my book. It seems that others take orders and forget to send the

 book. Be sure to be proactive with this publisher and use Paypal so that youhave a record of payment and recourse to dispute.

Fortunately I can say that this drawn out process was worthwhile as I got the paper I wanted and also some papers on the Psalms that I had not expectedto find as no Table of Contents could be found online. It also allowed me

 become acquainted with some of the work of Karel Deurloo a scholar that Ihardly knew of before as he seems to write mostly in his own language andhis books and papers have unequal distribution and availability in NorthAmerica. This then highlights one of the most significant shortcomings ofthe Festschrift presumably intended to celebrate and extend the familiarity ofhis writings. This is achieved, in part, by having most of the papers inEnglish and German with at least two in French. Unfortunately the publisher’s minimal promotion hardly contributes to this celebration and

extension of the author’s contribution to Biblical studies. A little more could be done to promote the Festschrift and improve the fulfillment of orders. Iwould certainly suggest that anyone handling orders at least acknowledgethe order for which more oversight seems required. Another suggestion, inthe digital era, is to fully automate the process and offer digital versions ofthe book for immediate downloads. As for my part, after I have looked this

 book over once again, I intend to donate it to my University Library so thatthose who might want to read it do not have to travel too far or wait too longto consult the volume of papers celebrating the academic contributions ofKarel Adriaan Deurloo.
