Re: Braeckow, Grossdeutschland im Weltgeschehen
Fantastic books and absolutely rare! For my view they are totaly undervalued. 120RM was at these times an absolute expensive price, and for sure only the Extravaganz could afford it.

Re: Braeckow, Grossdeutschland im Weltgeschehen
Thank you, Robert.
Wilkins goes on about the cost of a peaked cap in his famous book, which he totally overstates. These Braeckow books cost a fortune for people of the time. In fact, there were various luxury editions of NSDAP volumes (of which these were especially expensive...) that were rather expensive. As Robert H will agree, in certain kinds of families, one's library was a sign of social status and one had to have fine bindings of the required titles. Today we have marble counter tops in kitchens and marble bedecked water closets pp.
This thing about a library might sound peculiar in 21st century society, but it was quite true in the early 20th century Germany.

They cost RM120 a piece when new (no small sum...)
I agree. As a side note, the VW (or Kdf wagen) was priced to cost a 1000RM in 1939.

You might post same to the book rubric. I would also be interested in the contemporary price. I ended up being able to buy the four volumes I mentioned here some years ago.
