Reprint of the 1962 first edition, in small size. Seymour de Ricci called this work a "Bibliographical monument of lasting importance." Originally issued in an edition of 250 copies, the first edition has become scarce (Brenni no. 678). The word "German" in the title refers to books produced in countries with a non-Latin European base; thus books from Belgium, Switzerland and Austria-Hungary are included. A number of bindings illustrated.
