Oldest DJ ever?

7 Jan 2008

eBay has a copy of Rheinlande 24 (1888) with its dustjacket! If this really is the original DJ - and there is no particular reason to doubt this from the information provided - it must be the oldest preserved DJ I have seen anywhere. Very interesting.

Presumably all the books had dustjackets originally; it's just that so very few have been preserved, especially of the old, rather functional buff types.
