    Translate the Latibaer books

    LazyTown Merchandise

    Should be getting this sexy lot in about 1 or 2 weeks
    I'm going to buy a scanner as well and I will make sure to scan all the pages of the books and the VHS art and all that good stuff for you guys.
    In the meantime, anyone know of any really good software that can read text from images? Hoping to get these translated easily.

      Haven't used it myself, but this should work:

              Little update on this - I am also getting a brand new copy of the Glanni glæpur í Latabæ soundtrack and a used copy of the original Jól í Latabæ soundtrack. So along with the book and vhs scans, I'll get you some album art and some uncompressed files from the CDs.

              To save on (massive) shipping I had the guy wait until we could do this all at once. It looks like we will be finalizing the transaction in the next few days, then 7 - 10 days shipping.

              Total (including shipping): $275

                Still, would that be relatively cheap?

                  It's hard to calculate.
                  Shipping is 50 dollas so the subtotal is 225.
                  Keep in mind though that not only are these items impossible to find outside of Iceland, I am sending this guy on errands for me across the world to find, buy, and resell these to me so I'm paying for services on top of goods.

                      Very much looking forward to a scan of the Glanni glæpur í Latabæ CD cover art.

                        That's absolutely "frábært"! I like the way Baldur Bæjó looks on the CD cover art of Jól í Latabæ.

                        I've also got three of those books. I've got Latibær á Ólympíuleikum, Latibær í vandræðum fyrir yngri and Latibær í vandræðum fyrir eldri, so I'm still looking for Áfram Latibær!
