Book First Edition
Hardcover/gebunden. Condition: gut. 1.-7. Tausend. Fadengehefteter fotografisch gestalteter und glanzfolienkaschierter Pappeinband mit goldgeprägtem Titel-Rückenschild, farbigen Vorsätzen und Lesebändchen im fotografisch gestalteten Schuber. Der Schuber und der Seitenschnitt dezent berieben, ansonsten guter bis sehr guter Erhaltungszustand. Gesetzt aus der Borgis Schmalen Antiqua Monotype und auf einer Condor-Schnellpresse vom Bleisatz gedruckt auf das holz- und säurefreie mattgeglättete 100g/qm Bücherpapier der Papierfabrik Niefern. "Wann und wo wurde das Bett erfunden? Warum heißt die Mayonnaise Mayonnaise? Seit wann spielt die Menschheit mit Murmeln, und welchem rituellen Zweck haben sie gedient, bevor sie auf dem Schulhof landeten? Woher kommt die Wurst, und warum hat Kaiser Konstantin versucht, ihren Verzehr zu verbieten? Simple Fragen, die schwer zu beantworten sind. Unter vielen hundert Stichworten hat Charles Panati die Geschichte der alltäglichsten Gegenstände dargestellt, vom Löffel bis zum Kreuzworträtsel, vom Rosenkranz bis zum Reißverschluß, vom Handschuh bis zur elektrischen Zahnbürste. Die Spannweite dieses Kompendiums reicht vom Paläolithikum bis in die Gegenwart. Auf dieser langen Reise durch die Kulturgeschichte erzählt Panati eine Fülle von amüsanten, überraschenden und extravaganten Anekdoten. ln den USA ist dieses ABC des Unscheinbaren und Unentbehrlichen zum Bestseller geworden. Über 360000 Exemplare sind verkauft worden, seit es 1987 erschienen ist. Die deutsche Ausgabe verzichtet auf einige Details, die eher der amerikanischen Folklore zuzurechnen sind, bietet aber eine getreue Übersicht über den bunten Haushalt der Menschheit. Unter Panatis übrigen Publikationen sind zu nennen: The Book of Beginnings; Breakthroughs; und Extraordinary Endings of Practically Everything and Everybody. DIE ANDERE BIBLIOTHEK wird in der Nördlinger Buchdruckerei Greno nach den Regeln der Schwarzen Kunst hergestellt. Der Druck erfolgt auf der Condor-Schnellpresse vom Originalsatz aus Monotype-Metall-Lettern. Das verwendete säurefreie Bücherpapier wird von der Papierfabrik Niefern speziell für DIE ANDERE BIBLIOTHEK gefertigt. Die Bindearbeiten besorgt die Buchbinderei Lachenmaier, Reutlingen. - Die Au?age dieses Bandes ist limitiert. Der Originalsatz wurde bei Erscheinen eingeschmolzen." (Verlagstext) In deutscher Sprache. 318, (2) pages. 8° (128 x 217mm).
