Rolling the Stone from the Mouth of the Well: Teaching Old Testament Exegesis in West-Africa / A. Blokker Bibliography Karel Adriaan Deurloo. F.J. Hoogewoud, J Deurloo-Sluijter I obtained this Festschrift for a single paper Fact and Imagination in the History of Hezekiah (II Kgs. 18-20). by E. van den Berg that I had seen referred to several times in my research on Sennacherib and Hezekiah. It proved quite difficult to obtain. The closest library that had this title was in upstate New York about 200-300 miles away from my location. I decided to order the volume through the publisher and made my payment with Paypal and then waited and waited and waitedwithout even an order acknowledgement. After a few weeks I had to investigate through Paypal to discover that order had not been received. After about two months I finally received 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 you have 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 expected to 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 I hardly knew of before as he seems to write mostly in his own language and his books and papers have unequal distribution and availability in North America. This then highlights one of the most significant shortcomings of the Festschrift presumably intended to celebrate and extend the familiarity of his writings. This is achieved, in part, by having most of the papers in English and German with at least two in French. Unfortunately the publishers minimal promotion hardly contributes to this celebration and extension of the authors contribution to Biblical studies. A little more could be done to promote the Festschrift and improve the fulfillment of orders. I would certainly suggest that anyone handling orders at least acknowledge the order for which more oversight seems required. Another suggestion, in the digital era, is to fully automate the process and offer digital versions of the 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 that those who might want to read it do not have to travel too far or wait too long to consult the volume of papers celebrating the academic contributions of Karel Adriaan Deurloo.
