but it was late and it's impossible to copy and paste text from Google Books ( at least I've never found a way to do so). So I had to type in all that Dutch text, perfectly, since typos can ruin the translation. I type about 80 wpm typing my own thoughts. Copying anything in English will cut that typing speed by about 75%. Copying text in a foreign language probably slows it down by another 75%. But I did want to know what Barry had said.

George might have said something about the Tielmans in his book about his music and songwriting. But like Barry's book, it's available only in Dutch.

I'd like to read both books, but there's no way I'm going to type them into Google Translate.
