Bulkboek
- ... that Bulkboeken ("bulk books") were cheap reprints (on newsprint) of Dutch literary classics, published from 1971 to the late 1990s, and again from 2007 on? Source: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_tie002201101_01/_tie002201101_01_0020.php?q=Knippenberg%20bulkboek#528

Interesting program on fine sources, Dutch sources accepted AGF. I have a few questions about the proposed hook. It reads as if it were books, but turning to the article, it's an organisation. I'd open the brackets for newsprints. I don't know which tense to use because while the 1971 batch is past, the 2007 is ongoing. The lead intro is past, - sort of correct because it seems a different organisation that does the 2007, no? The more foreign and ambiguous a title, the more I miss an infobox, but do as you please. Any help with the hook wording? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:27, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
Reviewing this afresh to keep things moving. Timely nomination, long enough, neutral, and well referenced, with QPQ provided. I don't share Gerda's concerns about the ambiguity of the hook referring to "Bulkboeken" as books when the subject of the article is the Bulkboek company that produced them; it appears that the products got their name from the company name and were referred to as such. AGF for hook verification and close paraphrasing from the Dutch-language sources. 97198 (talk) 22:19, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
