There is no date on this one that I can see, but it appears to be contemporary -- likely early 2000's. The handmade lace is exquisite and the booklet shows it making itss way from the designer's pencil to the needles used by the women who create the gossamer fabric to the marketplace. the intricate lace turns into dresses, collars, tablecloths, runners, bridal veils, pillows, curtains, shawls and altar coverings. Every page is a discovery and many pop with colorful backgrounds. Text is in Italian, French, German,and English. Booklet measures 8"x 11-1/2" and is very clean and tightly bound. ... View More...

These little German calendars are exquisitely rendered -- the art is so charming. It's in the GERMAN LANGUAGE, but is so pleasing to the eye that art trumps comprehensiion for non-German speakers. It's a small, very thin book which measures 5-1/2"x7-3/4" and is illustrated with tiny illustrations throughout. The pages aren;t numbered, but I counted 22. View More...

This is a hefty, significant program -- more book than booklet! But the event was so enormous it's worthy of the paper used to print it. Saengerfest was a national song festival which consisted of five concerts held over three days to accommodate the HUGE crowds. Twenty-six trains were charted just to bring in the thousands of PARTICIPANTS. The Cleveland schools also contributed singers. The event was also a commemoration of the centenary of the death of Beethoven. The program measures 7-3/4" x 10-1/4" and is very tightly bound with complete spine strip. Onlt fault is light some soiling to co... View More...

Rather scarce little book for children written in French. The title translates to the History of the Dog Brisquet. The color illustration is wonderful, created by F. Rojankovsky. The booklet measures 5"x6" and has 18 counted pages. As you can see from the pictures, the paper has toned both inside and out. There is also an old bookseller inventory sticker on front cover and the number is handwritten again inside on the back of it. I don't dare try to remove it, for fear of damage. View More...
Rilke is one of my favorites, so I not only found a beautiful copy of this book which announced on the bottom of the title page that Rilke was the poet of the year. Rilke's Book of Hours falls into three parts: The Book of Monkish Life composed in 1899; The Book of Pilgrimage in 1901; and The Book of Poverty and Death in 1903. The poems are in both the GERMAN language on the left side of the page and English across from it. Here's a quick quote from one of my favorites, "You, neighbor God, if sometimes in the night I rouse you with loud knocking. I do so only because I seldom hear you breathe... View More...
I bought several of these German catalogs from the estate of a single owner who collected both U.S. and German medals and uniform accoutrements. This one covers helmets and other headgear from Germany. The text is in German and each item is provided with a drawing which helps greatly if you don't read the language. Once you see the item you're looking for it's easy to use an online translator for the details. The catalog measures a diminutive 4-1/4" x 5-3/4" with 304 pages including a few blank ones for notes which were never used. View More...
