with quiet emotion, we see that the editors of the financial newspaper network service from the last experiment of the author took note with the requisite irony, of course. Here it was attached, because I was sitting next to me a friendly grin, even during the work and never knew whether that should now be a spoof or the beginning of a new service.
The reaction of a young lady standing near me, which I demonstrated the photos healed I quickly disrespectful impulses - they found everything very nice and the idea. That I had failed to see into the Gold series in an appealing atmosphere, they thought was a serious error and my belief in the appeal of the opposition (and a quiet self-irony) in the form of old Sten shelving it lacked any sense.
What lies behind it? As with any antiquarian with older flocks gather with me more or less complete classic series. I am sometimes surprised, given the aesthetic qualities of the covers, and often is the literary value - and curiously, also printing and paper quality - of the Interior in distressing contrast the radiant shell. Since then, the book binder have been better in their times as a poet, paper mill and printing.
As anyone knows who has tried to offer these titles individually: they are hardly sold. The time required for recording the title and setting, with or without crutches w + h-in the whole show contrast yield. For me half a room is of such literature. What to do? From time scaring me spinning and beetles from the shelves and the senses, while the domestic animals to look on offense from the ceiling, on the purpose and benefit of my treasures.
Inspired by Beasley message by Bavarian royal libraries, to - of course much higher - for decorative purposes as a whole, almost collectively find a ready market, I did some tests. I came only after a longer back and forth on the idea: you must remove it from the several thousand volumes comprehensive series of titles and the "beautiful literature" just those who wear really pretty gold sheen in the back. Only through such a selective approach to get at the truth: It looks damn sch ö n from when gold come back from each other.
Two side notes. The brilliance of that book club gold-half-leather binding from the period after World War II, which are always in antiquarian materials on the shelf, "it does not." There is no M in there Agie, not a "silent lightning". It must have to do with the changing nature of the gold leaf after 1914. Book club and popular books of the Association of Friends Series in 1930 seem quite cheap in series and intrusive. So it's really only with titles before 1914. - Secondly, this is only one Notweg. One can get rid of it but quite ordinary, but otherwise unanbringliches material to the former purchase price back. Behind it is less a "deal" to smell than you'll forgive the pathos, a decent burying such a title. But it would be unfair to formulate such a way because by its very nature, the confusion of literature contain is stimulating, and if the material is then supplemented by the buyer with their own titles, formed a fine collection.
has now only a handful of booksellers such amounts remote literary titles such as I, thank God, because it's a heavy load. What good is it there when samples revealed that many of the trivial novels before 1914, to accompany me for decades and serve Kärferchen and spiders to home, to little or none of the German libraries are detectable? The scornful laughter that was years ago with my purchase request shy of Marbach's high priest (s) answered sounds to me still in my ears.
have the really rare trivial novels before 1914, however no Goldeinbände, they come hand in hand in sackcloth and ashes, and no one, no one wants it have. Behind it are pretty strange problems and I have become a dedicated haters and critics of the program of the collection of German prints - mostly hollow ringing the attention of the German cultural world, for additional downward gap - as far as I see no mention of it. Prestige properties are acquired. The small antiquarian may breed beetles and spiders and in rows of three novels Trivial hoarding around 1880. T his is the collection of German prints ...
Under such considerations, I came up with the idea to test in the marketing of Goldeinbände.
I have much more time-consuming series of tests carried out in recent months, some "hidden" so as not to work too transparent for w + h, and other close observers of the scene.
Hence an icy wind blows and I would like to announce that I will question in the near future viability of our industry as a whole and to question. We exploit, with the kind assistance of the books portals, partly from themselves and earn less than janitors.
It's not so much the readers, much less the cheeky silly in the portals set "reprints" from the U.S. and elsewhere, no - it is the complete retrobibliographische blindness, the historical ignorance even of seasoned professionals to our clients in their own best field and, nota bene, the unspeakable horror of rendering techniques and tactics of our books, sales databases, leading to misery.
There is the small test with the Goldeinbänden only a humorous side issue. Of course, who really has more stock of this kind, they can at least get rid of excessive prices quite well. This has been the attempt to "lower" book criteria. For that important works in fine bindings, almost always go well, that you knew. For the lower areas of literature had to give it a try. shown
