My translation into German of Yvonne Billow's excellent book " English
Springer Spaniel, An Owner's Guide" published by HarperCollins, London is
now available as a paperback supplement (text only, no photos) in "Double
Pack" with the Original for the German speaking reader.
I thank Yvonne Billows for permission to translate her book and use it as
guidance for the translation. My thanks also go to Cathy Gosling, Editorial
Director of HarperCollins for making the translation possible.
The agreement with HaperCollins stated: It must be a faithful and accurate
translation and one copy of the finished translation must be supplied to
HarperCollins, Publisher of the original work.
I was also given the right to include the different rules laid down by the
Verband für das Deutsche Hundewesen (VDH) and the "Jagdspaniel-Klub" for breeding and showing,, and to
ensure that my personal views were made obvious.
I quote from a letter I received from Cathy Gosling, Editorial Director,
HarperCollins Publisher: "Thank you for your letter dated 8 November 99
and for the copy of the German supplement. You have done a very good job with
it."
Laura Clement, responsible for the export of the Originals wrote: "Thank
you very much, your supplement has arrived with Cathy Gosling. May we commend
you on your excellent supplement."
Yvonne Billows wrote: "So pleased to hear that your marathon task is now
completed - you deserve a medal. I feel honoured that you chose my book to
translate - a big thank you and I look forward to adding it, with pride, to my
book collection. The post has just been delivered and your book has arrived. It
does look very professionally printed and bound."
