This is one of the books that were bought at the Frankfurt book exhibition and fair a few years ago. Many of the books came from a collection that goes back into the 50’s accumulated by a German collector who collected nothing but books that belonged to famous people. We were able to purchase books with the Ex Libris plates from Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goring, Goebbels and a large group of books that were from the library of the SS Totenkopf Oberland Standarte. Many of the books are in fine condition while some show much use and sometimes some abuse. This one is in very good general condition. So, what we have here is a very rare and desirable volume that needs to be added to any important book collection dealing with the rare and exotic
