Sorry I'm so late in getting this up, but I've got this up on eBay right now and Nora (perhaps some of you know her, she's a regular) suggested I post the link here for everyone to check out.
I bought the book several years ago and for the longest time couldn't figure out what it was all about. First I thought it was a house manual because of the words "fur junge frauen, haushalterinnen." The script was very difficult to make heads or tails of since it's so old and different than what we have now (Times New Roman, Ariel, etc), so I just kind of set it aside. Recently the semester ended, I ran out of money and I was in a mad dash to pull together money (still am) and found the book again (after two failed attempts at selling it in an antique store). I sat down and spent quite a bit of time studying the print style and remembering my high school german and finally everything clicked into place. It's a cookbook!!! 600 pages of culinary splendor to be exact!!! It's filled with all sorts of hidden gems. I'm going to take a few good pics with my camera so I can try to make a few dishes from the old country.
Anyway, even if you're not interested in buying it, stop over quick before it sells to check out the pics!!
