Sometimes when I see particularly old books in the open library cabinet, I take them with me just to have a good look at them and smell them. A lot of those do not have copyright notices, but here's one that stood out to me.
I think of fraktur as just a different style of font, but German publishers/printers seem to have treated it more like a separate alphabet.

Tangentially, I have no idea what to call the not-a-little-free-library. The ones in Cologne are not organised by littlefreelibrary.org, and they are not tiny boxes on posts, but, well, bookcases. Book cabinets. Something.

@Anke i guess it’s still pretty little in compared to building sized libraries? but yeah it does seem a bit odder in reference to full bookcases
