Clare O'Beara | 1153 comments Hi, I found this one.

Canan ‚elik

This is the book attributed to the author, so you may find a better spelling. I don't know if Elik should be the first name.

YŸk

Clare O'Beara | 1153 comments I found:

ek/okuUn eSukyh ^e/q*

Their book title is also odd. The problem seems to be that they need a different keyboard and the keystrokes are not working properly. I suggest using a Google Translate option.

Clare O'Beara | 1153 comments Ewq Lawrence Dundas Campbell

Seems to me the Ewq is supposed to be Esquire at the end of his name.

His one book has a semicolon at end of title. A few editions, some say paperback or classic reprint in title.

The Asiatic Annual Register, Or View of the History of Hindustan, and of the Politics, Commerce, and Literature of Asia, for the Year 1804;

The first of these seems the best one. The others are versions of the same person.
