All of a sudden in the summer doldrums, up pops a total rarity on eBay: Deutschland 15 (1872). This is the last of the gigantic complete Germany and Austria volumes - indeed it is by some margin the biggest Baedeker edition ever, the only one with more than 900 pages.

Furthermore, it is one of the few editions never seen in a successful auction on this site, and it also doesn't have a starting price!

Unfortunately it appears to have been re-covered not very expertly. But then the spine on a book of this girth does not hold up very well - which was I think the reason why Baedekers stopped issuing the All Germany volumes after this edition. Go and get bidding!
