George Müller Collection (12 Vols.)

This is a good time to bid on the George Müller Collection (12 Vols.) in the Community Pricing area. It has almost reached 100% of the level needed to go into production. It looks like the community price will only $18 for the entire collection. That is only $1.50 per volume. If more people bid the price could even go lower!

When this first came out I put a bid in for it at 33.00....does that mean if it goes for 18.00, I will have to pay 33.00?......hope not....I do want to own it....

You will pay what everyone pays. I bid the max on "The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification". I got it moved to my pre-pub list at $5!

If I could bid twice on Muller, I would! It's RIGHT there on the line...and just won't move.

Peace...

it means you will pay 18 as it stands now. could go lower if we could just bump it. it seems the bugs come running for it when it gets the green light.

It looks like the collection has succeeded in gathering enough interest to go into production. The community bidding is currently at $18 for all 12 volumes. The bidding will close on Friday 4/2/2010 at Noon Pacific Time according to the web page:

There is still time for people to drive the price even lower! I wonder if we could send it below $12? <Grin>

It looks like we only need a few more people to get the price down to $15 for the set.

The price is heading down and we still have a few more days for it to drop. The Müller Collection looks like it will be an excellent source of illustrations for sermons. Müller was constantly giving examples of how God answered prayer in his life and ministry.

How do you get your umlaut u? I don't know how to do that. . . .

Let's go $15!!!

How do you get your umlaut u? I don't know how to do that. . . .

I do them in Word or Outlook (which both understand the same keyboard shortcuts for inserting accented characters) and then copy/paste into wherever I need them.

The way to enter them in Word is hold the Ctrl key down, press the key on the keyboard that looks most like the accent over the next character you're preparing to type and then release the Ctrl key. Nothing shows up yet at this point but you're now primed to type the accented character. So press the letter you want the accent to show up on.

For example, to type é you'd press and hold Ctrl and type an apostrophe ( ' ) then release both keys and type the e.

For à use a back apostophe ( ` )

For umlaut as on ü, use a colon ( : ), which is Shift+; so you'd have to press Ctrl+Shift+; to get the accent

For circumflex as on î, use ^ (that's a Shift+6, so you'd have to press Ctrl+Shift+6 to get the accent)

Use a forward slash / for the Scandinavian ø

Use @ for the little circle as in å

Use ~ to get ñ.

Use , to get ç.

Use Ctrl+& followed by s to get the German double-s (ß)

There might be a few others, but that should cover most of what you'd ever need. You can also always use Insert Symbol in Word if you can't remember the code or want to use a less frequently used accent that there isn't a shortkey key for. The Insert Symbol dialog box will show you what the shortcut keys are for future reference (if there is one) down at the bottom when you select an accented character.

By the way, it looks like the Community Pricing may drop to $15 on the Müller Collection tomorrow.

As an aside, I thought the umlaut was being phased out by the Germans. Don't they all write a following e now instead? (ie Mueller)

Well, ue is indeed equivalent to ü in German orthography. Perhaps that came into common usage in the old days of typewriters where you couldn’t put diacritical marks over letters. But I didn’t think the umlaut was an endangered species at all. They still use them in Der Spiegel, the main weekly magazine. I'll ask my friend in Germany.

Last week I read an article in Der Spiegel about the Danish city of Århus. Because of the internet there are plans to change the name from Århus to Aarhus. This article also explains why the German city of Düsseldorf still links its newer site www.düsseldorf.de to the older www.duesseldorf.de:

http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/0,1518,683559,00.html

Apart from making it easier for international surfers to find German (, Danish, etc.) internet adresses there are no serious plans to reduce the use of the Umlaut.

The German Language has undergone many changes in the last 20 years, but I had not heard about the umlaut being phased out.

From my brother who is fluent in German and lived and worked in Germany for two years:

This is the first I've ever heard such a thing about umlauts. I suspect your informant has simply observed how frequently "ue" etc. are used because of the lack of umlautability on many QWERTY keyboards. But I've never seen a lack of them in anything typed on a normal German keyboard. There was a much-debated spelling reform several years ago that, among other things, clarified when the "ess-zett" (looks like a capital beta) is used, vs. "ss" (the Swiss have long used exclusively the latter). Like ae/oe/ue, ss is always an acceptable substitute for e-mail etc. But I do not recall any changes in umlaut rules. Note that some Muellers spell their name with ue, others with u-umlaut -- no idea why.

All this said, it's entirely possible that modern text/Twitter culture is wreaking the same dismal effects on German spelling as on English. Goethe and Schiller are no doubt rolling in their Graeber.

The price is getting real close to $15. I suspect that the regular price will be about $99 after it is published.

[Temporarily back to hijack mode]

Sorry yes, my reasoning for thinking the umlaut was being phased out stems from time in Zurich, where they (the Swiss) tend to be fairly lax about all things high German. The "ss" usage was also more prevalent than the sharfess (?) s as well. Might explain why I thought e was being substituted. Thanks for the clarification.

It is getting very close to the $15 price! That would be only $1.25 per volume.

Sells for $139.95 at Amazon, and if we get some more people to bid we'll get it for $20 or less!!! This is a Christian classic, please submit a bid! I will do the same for your favorites! (in fact I bid on all the Community pricing projects, the prices are so cheap for good resources!)

Becuause ,I have German keyboards I am able to write the words with umlauts ,but if some one wants uses enlish keyboards the only way to write is ,to add e with the alphabet.

Well, Germany is where it all started. Bible study in the hands of the laity, that is. Thanks to Gutenberg and then later Luther. So there might still be somewhat of a market left there after all the secularization...
