Just entered. I have forgotten whether the publisher (see logo at the bottom of the title page) is Hemma or Hema? Please message me so I can adjust it. There is another code on the back: 14.31.2975. Does anyone know if that is still a link to release date?

I think Boekenmagazijn gives the right answer. It is indeed an H for Hema.

Thanks for your contributions.

Obviously I had already tried to look it up before I entered it.
The KB does not own my book. However, the book previously entered in LD #1189937
However, the title page did not have a photo there. However, the code on the back 14.91.2033 indicates that the copy below must be a KB copy, also given the number of pages. KB says that the logo stands for Hema. But could also be a mistake, Hema/Hemma... Ask?

I think the text of the 2 booklets is the same, just a different front cover, but 122 pages.
. And about those codes: I still can't figure it out. 14.31.2975 vs 14.91.2033 ??

Title: | Alone in the world / [after] Hector Malot ; edited for the Netherlands [from French] by Henri van Hoorn

That code is probably the Hema item number.
Although publisher Jongland also used a similar numbering for the same cheap adaptations of children's books.

If we could enter this in "Number in book series", the publications would be easier to group and sort (and date), but unfortunately the field is not intended for that.
(Publisher Mulder, for example, also has its own numbering system.)

So that was well worth the effort. Cheers and thanks. I had tried to look up that logo again, but I did not find it in the Logo overview of the Hema department store. So then another question, if that is allowed, is the publisher Hema part (was?) of that group or something else entirely?

By chance I came across a second copy of the extremely exciting book Petertje Poes.
It seems to me that Hemma and Hema are one and the same publisher, although it is still not clear to me whether all known H logo booklets were published by the Hema department store. In fact, the KB approached Hema many years ago, but they did not know and not all logos are documented.

See https://www.lastdodo.nl/nl/areas/4663159-petertje-poes-in-speelgoedland-petertje-poes-gaat-kamperen

and the backs of both booklets, which are the same on the logo and code back.

Both are logos of Hema. The lower one is older than the upper one, so the 1991 date is probably incorrect for both books.

The Hemma books in the 1980s and 1990s have a kind of four-leaf clover as their logo, in which the letters are sometimes listed with the 'e' in the center. Or an empty clover with the letters Hemma underneath. So I don't really understand why you think the H's could be from the Hemma.

Confusing indeed. No one has yet been able to tell me that Hemma is (was?) a separate publishing house and where it is located and Hema is the same. In any case, I now understand that both logos belong to HEMA, according to you. Then the question remains, do we mean the department store by HEMA?

Exactly, Hema is the department store. And Hemma is a real publishing house, if I remember correctly, based in Belgium.

I'm happy that I basically understand it now. But how do you tell the books apart? As far as I know, neither of them specifically mentions a publisher's name. So at most logos, you just need to know what Hema is and what Hemma... I looked it up via the KB. But yes, do they have everything right?

They are difficult to date, but here is a rough chronology of the Hema logos (by my estimation):

1950s-1960s

late 60's-70's

80s-90s
late 90's

I must honestly say that I have never been able to find definitive confirmation that the first logo is from Hema (it does not resemble the store logos used), but that is the general consensus in the book world.

However, the same logo also appears on Matchstick labels . Although the name Hema is not mentioned anywhere, but given the range advertised, it is very likely that it is indeed this store chain.

PS Hemma is indeed a (bilingual) Belgian publisher, based in Chevron.

Unfortunately not.

A problem in our catalog is that the back of such a book is often missing and then you cannot see the logo.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your responses, comments and tips based on your knowledge and expertise during this year, which is almost over. Hope it didn't bother you too much. I think it's a shame that not too many book lovers visit the forum, because there must still be a lot of them walking around, right?

Returning to Boekenmagazijn's nice overview of the Hema logos.
I have clearly entered the 2 Petertje Poes albums with scans and all. I can't imagine that these albums which are only fractionally different are 20/30 years apart.
The H (80/90) with K14-14-91.0015 versus the H between the ornamental marks 50/60 and 14.91.1005.
Apparently 91 doesn't stand for the year? The H album has a slightly wider red spine and is 0.2 cm less high, but otherwise the plasticization, color printing and paper used are the same.
So 1 of the 2 is the earlier edition, perhaps K14 has something to do with it.

So it remains difficult to put a date of release for both albums. I saw that Vertigo (he beat me to it) has already deleted publisher Hemma.

In any case, I know a lot more...

The overview of Boekenmagazijn gives an approximation of the years. If the oldest symbol is from the late 1960s and the more modern symbol is from the late 1970s (instead of the 1980s), then there is only 10 years between them. And then it's a lot less strange.

Even ten years difference is quite a lot, what would you put as estimated dates? And as a 1st edition of a reissue (after all, Mulder was the first to release Peterje Poes in 4 volumes) and the "most recent" H volume as a 3rd edition?

If I had to enter a year: 1965 for the oldest and 1985 for the newest. But of course it remains a wild guess.

A major problem is that with these items you cannot see which years have been entered based on a date in the book itself, or another reliable source, and which are based on a personal estimate.

If someone enters a random year, there is a good chance that the next importer of a similar book will regard it as a reliable starting point. And each new item that subsequently receives that dating 'confirms' the correctness of all previous items... And so you get a chronology that is less sound than it looks.

That is why you should always state in Details that the year is estimated.

Since 2008 that I have imported books and/or other items or modified existing items, I have argued for dating estimates. I don't know how many other "importers" do that. Never received an explicit comment from administrators that it is better not to enter a year if no year is stated in the book. The KB and other sources are useful that you can refer to, but KB also often estimates.

My question now is: is it better to leave the year field empty and at most enter an estimated year in comments? I'll be honest: an empty date field on a book means nothing to me.
