Lots of interesting books

19 Jun 2008

UPDATE:
An eagle-eyed friend of the site has noted that the Ober-Italien mentioned below probably is not the whole book, just the map! There is a clue in the format - and also, the text actually says 'Italia Settentrionale (Ober Italien) tratta da "Italien - handbuch fur reisende"' - which I think means '... drawn from "Italien - handbuch...'.

I apologise for this and hope you haven't been misled.

END of UPDATE

As noted yesterday, there are many interesting objects on eBay at the moment. To draw your attention just to two of them, there is a rather rare Manual of Conversation 9 (1854) and also an Ober-Italien 3 (1865) which I notice went without buyer at EUR7, and has now been reposted.

This latter one is sold in Italian, which may have worried some potential buyers. However, its condition is said to be "alcune macchie umidità visibili sul retro ma condizioni buone" (some patches from damp visible on the back but good condition) so that doesn't sound too threatening. Especially not at that price....
