WvanNunen Werner, your comment about the "lost passport" piqued my interest. Interesting story.

Wikipedia has a full description of the booklet. Personally, I think it's an overreaction by the Justice Department.

Excerpted from Wiki: Shortly after the book's publication, two boys tried to withdraw money from a post office using the passport booklet. They were quickly caught, but a discussion arose about the booklet, which they claimed resembled a passport too closely, despite the aforementioned minor differences in layout. Peter Bakker, director of De Kosmos publishing house, initially seemed to think the differences were significant enough. When asked, he said: "It seems unlikely to me that you could use this passport as identification at a bank to get money. If I were a bank manager, I would fire that employee immediately." [1] [2]
To no avail, the Justice Department prohibited the book's distribution, and the police confiscated the remaining copies. However, rumors of this action spread before the police could confiscate all the copies, and children's author Tonke Dragt bought about twenty of the books, feeling it would be a shame for them to never see the light of day.

Hi, I'm Werner. I'm interested in coins and history, but I'm not an avid collector. However, if I want to know anything about coins, I regularly check LastDodo. While cleaning up, I found the children's book "The Lost Passport" (1982). Funny that it also appeared on LastDodo. So this time, I created an account. I'll take my time browsing through each category.

I've been looking for a children's ring binder from the 90s for ages. I don't know the title, but it was something about the world. You had to buy the binder yourself first, and then you could buy add-ons (tabs) (monthly, perhaps). I think we got these at C1000. The binder had various topics: Earth, nature, plants, the human body, etc. The binder was blue with a print. Can anyone help me?

I think you mean Hendricus Ruseler.
This one has even more Pseudonyms but they are in the background because the System can only process 16 names visibly.

No, the second question remains. There's another (relatively unknown) artist with 16 aliases.

The trap is good but the reason why Olrik was not there is not correct.

Let me also pose a question about my favorite series Blake and Mortimer.
EP Jacobs wrote eight stories. Olrik was the antagonist in all but one of the albums. Which album is this, and why is Olrik missing?

The Trap, character was replaced with a more acceptable villain regarding the story (time travel)

Here's a tip regarding which artists/bands have 16 aliases. Both are from the Netherlands, one of which is in the popie jopie genre.

As of today, there are still 4 quiz questions open:
From Collectioneur : 2 x 10 points; A question for music lovers: There are two artists/bands in LastDodo, each with 16 aliases. Name one. Bonus for both.
From rikMooren 10 points: EP Jacobs wrote 8 stories. Olrik was the antagonist in all albums except one. Which album is this and why is Olrik missing?
From me: In which series and album does "Longplaying" play an important role?, as a hint: the original series was re-released in beautiful HC albums from 1984 to 1987 with 1 and the same front cover for 60% with the main figures of the series in color surrounded by blue;
en: the 1940s comic strip album (scroll up for the question) where three characters end up in a strange world via a large magical book. As a hint: the artist worked under a pseudonym and became known for an adult comic series with "one main character" throughout the centuries, starting with prehistoric man.

Rene rikMooren I doubt it was a success, I bought it in my still fanatical years and 150 guilders was quite a lot of money. Jilles I want to adjust the catalog item, I still have everything complete in the box, but wouldn't it be better to re-enter it in a different category?

$$$$$$ I didn't know about Mathew Brady, but I read Wiki, which has some interesting historical information. I've always been interested in the pioneers and fortune seekers who came to America throughout the centuries. Those were hard times, and for many in Europe, it was doom and gloom.

$$$$$$ If Peter Bonte's comic strip database was available to any individual/user (which I mean, it cost 150 guilders at the time) and before 1999, then that would be a good answer. But I suspect not. To simplify things a bit: it's a CD-ROM in a nice colorful box...

The first fully automated collection management program is Peter Bonte's comic strip database.

Another new 10-point quiz: In which series and album does "Longplaying" play an important role?

Still unanswered are: the 1940s comic book (scroll up for the question) where three characters end up in a strange world via a large magical book... and the "first" fully automated collection management program for comic books.
