It looks to be an elementary German reader for Norwegian speakers. So, the text in the ornate looking old Fraktur is German and the normal-looking text is Norwegian. There are some wonderful sentences in there, such as "the wind was favorable for the ships" A great find!

I always love your photos! Unfortunately our Chandler library book sales do not have these grand old books. There is one big book sale in Phoenix every year but I haven't been to it yet.<br />I find most of my old books at yard sales, estate sales and thrift shops. My latest scores were an old Chinese language book (hard to find in AZ) and a book called "Italian Lessons" from 1914 with a San Francisco bookstore stamp in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179696067342818298.post-58209636457279303772017-10-06T23:59:54.686-07:002017-10-06T23:59:54.686-07:00Wow!

I love going on the last day of our book sale, when I can be Wonder Woman and swoop in to rescue the rattiest old vintage books that the organizers probably plan to send to the landfill if no one buys them. :) Miss Iowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05437551258780605917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179696067342818298.post-25898158175923183192017-10-06T07:29:46.472-07:002017-10-06T07:29:46.472-07:00More beautiful paper!
