Marriage of Ludwig Gutmann and Rosette Pinkus: manuscript with 8 watercolours PRICE € 750 PURCHASE / MORE INFO View Member Profile Ludwig & Rosettchen. Eine Wundersame Historie. Gedruckt in dies Jahr. [Berlin], [1895-1896]. Calligraphic manuscript in German. [17] ll. Text on versos only. Title-page in ink and watercolour (mimicking a printed title-page, signed “N. Bergmann”), 2 full-page, and 5 vignettes, initials and headpieces in ink and watercolour. In original decorated red cloth, the front board titled “Ludwig und Rosettchen”. Most leaves loose (formerly glued together, the glue still visible on some leaves), the binding slightly damaged along the edges, neatly rebacked. This exquisite calligraphic manuscript features rhyming verses adorned with stunning watercolour illustrations, commemorating the marriage of Ludwig Gutmann (1859-?) and Rosette Pinkus (or Pincus, Berlin 1872-1918). Both individuals hailed from Jewish heritage, with Rosette being the daughter of Moses and Lina Pinkus (née Arndt). The manuscript references Rosette's parents and her brother, Adolf Pinkus. One illustration, titled "September 1896 ein Bild ohne Worte", shows a woman and child. Possibly this portrays Rosette with her daughter Erna Gutmann (later known as Erna Marcus), born in Berlin on June (or September?) 14, 1896. Erna's later emigration to the United States , as a means of fleeing Nazi oppression , adds a significant historical layer to this manuscript. She died in 1973 and rests in the Cedar Park and Beth El Cemeteries in New York . Rosette and Ludwig had another daughter, Grethe , born on July 20, 1899, who is not mentioned in the text. Grethe married Albert Goetz . In 1939, the couple fled Nazi Germany to Amsterdam , where they lived at Zuider Amstellaan 177 III . On January 9, 1943, they were arrested and taken to Camp Westerbork, from where they were transported to Auschwitz on February 16, 1943. Three days later, they were murdered. Possibly, Grethe took the present manuscript with her to Amsterdam. This manuscript not only carries sentimental significance but also acts as a tangible link to Jewish life in pre-World War I Germany, chronicling personal and familial milestones amid significant historical transformations.The artwork, poetic verses, and intricate watercolours likely encapsulate the joy and hope surrounding the marriage and the birth of Erna. The manuscript is part of a much larger story about the Jewish diaspora, displacement, persecution and survival.

HISTORY IOBA was founded in 1999 by a group of concerned online booksellers. When the internet began to take on a life of its own around this time, and several pioneer used/out-of-print/antiquarian book search services opened their electronic doors for business, the booksellers who were really their partners in this new venture were thrilled with the results, as were our customers. Even at this early date, however, it became obvious that we needed to reconcile the wonderful efficiency and relative anonymity of online selling with the importance of maintaining traditional values. Forming a trade association gave us an opportunity to address the key issues of establishing trust between bookseller and book buyer, helping to train future generations of new booksellers, advocating for our members, and acting as a clearinghouse for information.

We cater for armchair cooks, professional chefs, winemakers and avid foodies and stock over 40,000 new, old, vintage & antiquarian books and ephemera on wine, food & the culinary arts. All of our books are some how about food or drink. Whether antiquarian and vintage books or the latest new books on food, wine and cooking, our interests include agriculture, dining, food history, artisanal food production and drinks. About half our stock is new. Although our stock is mostly from the 20th century, we have a growing range of books from earlier periods. We also have an increasing stock of related ephemera, pamphlets and menus. We are members of: International League of Antiquarian Booksellers , Australian & New Zealand Association of Antiquarian Booksellers , International Online Booksellers Association , Australian Booksellers Association , Ephemera Society of Australia ; and, Bibliographical Society of Australia and New Zealand Books for Cooks opened in Wattletree Rd, Melbourne in 1983 and for many years was run by Margit & Pearl as a part-time labour of love. In early 2000, Tim & Amanda realised a long held dream and bought a tiny bookstore about wine and food and moved it to 'bohemian' Gertrude St, Fitzroy. After 16 years having outgrown our Fitzroy home, we moved to the Munro Buildings at the Queen Victoria Market. And, in 2018, with the beginning of the Queen Victoria Market renewal program, we moved to the Heritage listed Market shops on the other side of the Market at 115-121 Victoria Street, Queen Victoria Market.

If you are a library or educational institution, please ask about the special services and arrangements we provide. For us, avid food lovers, cooks and cookbook collectors for years, owning a culinary bookstore was a long cherished dream; and now we've made it our life. Cookbooks clutter our house and dining table and if we are not reading one, we are usually cooking from another. Amanda has worked as a professional cook, caterer, cake maker and kitchen manager. Her particular passion is baking but she will give anything a go! Tim is passionate about wine, food, jazz and books (not necessarily in that order). He has worked in restaurants, pubs and the food industry. Tim is an avid bibliophile and he has long had an interest in the history, sociology, science and literature of food (and books!). His particular passions are European style peasant food and wine. Tim is also a former board member and president of the Australian Booksellers Association and a current board member of ANZAAB. 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 Featured Items Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management VIEW DETAILS The Experienced English Housekeeper VIEW DETAILS Mrs Maclurcan's Cookery Book VIEW DETAILS Almanach des Gourmands VIEW DETAILS Terms of Sale Please visit our website for our terms of sale. https://www.booksforcooks.com.au/terms.php

As Mike alluded to, CABS benefits the entire trade, not just the people who attend. Mike put it very elegantly when he talked about the “vibrant, vital ecosystem” that is the bookselling trade, and CABS does a great deal to foster and support this. So, what makes CABS so great? There are many dimensions to it. *Facult Paul Shelley Aug 29, 2016 CABS Report: Mike Brenner, Brenner Books Ok, clever titling aside, (and the humor doesn’t get any better I’m afraid), I wanted to take a moment to share what I got out of CABS. Paul Shelly, a new friend and colleague from Edmonton, did a terrific job of detailing what this year’s seminarians experienced this past week; 54 of us by my count which we were told was one of the biggest classes to date. Regrettably, I did not take many photos though this one does sum up Paul’s comment about the spartan digs.

The week began with a keynote address by Lisa Baskin, a prolific collector who encouraged us on how rewarding, personally and financially, it could be to build a thoughtful collection.

One of the best things about being in the used book business is that you never know what to expect. When you get up in the morning, you can never predict what the day will bring. Usually, the first thing I do when I get out of bed is check my e-mail for orders that came in overnight. Earlier this year I noticed a pattern that most of the orders were coming in at the beginning of the week. Joe Perlman Feb 22, 2016 Book Selling at Antique Malls with Lee Kirk, Gayle Williamson, and Sharon Eisenberg So as part of this month’s theme of alternate selling venues for online book sellers, I thought it would be interesting to do a piece on selling in antique malls. Over the years I’ve heard many anecdotal accounts of dealers who set up spaces in antique malls, with mixed positive and negative results. I’ve been selling at the Westminster Antique Mall for over a year, taking over my current space as of January 2013.

The focus of this article is not on the large international and member only trade association fairs, but on the smaller regional fairs where booths are open to all sellers with a good reputation. Many of these fairs sell out of booth space, so if you are interested in exhibiting at one, get on the waiting list early.

I thought it was brilliant then, and my opinion hasn’t changed.

BIOPREDATION - CATS < Back to Terminology List BIOPREDATION - CATS Defect A great many booksellers have cats. Most of the time they do little to harm anything. There are exceptions. The first image shows a book entitled How to Massage Your Cat. It arrived in pristine condition; by the next morning it had been reviewed, and approved. The damage came from biting the corner of the book. The second image shows a John Henry Nash imprint from the time he was in Eugene, Oregon. This is not the most valuable of Nash titles though only 350 copies were produced, It was rejected for sale by the use of claws across the dust jacket, The scatches make clear that this is no longer a title to be sold.
