Job Lowe 28th Aug 2016		Book Robert A. Heinlein - Die Sechste Kolonne (1971)	Please see the "notes" section of this U.S. paperback. From the front cover scan, enlarged, it's possible to read the mention of the original title in the small print under "The Day After Tomorrow". This is quite a good story, although it might currently be viewed as politically incorrect in parts. I hope that the German translator captured, relished, and transferred Heinlein's excitement and philosophy for the benefit of German readers. The German cover art is certainly better and more interesting than the U.S. version linked above.
Job Lowe 26th Aug 2016		Book Alfred Hitchcock - Alfred Hitchcocks Kriminalmagazin Band 117 (1980)	If this is the German version of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, then it should be moved to the periodical/magazine section of 45worlds.
Job Lowe 24th Aug 2016		Book Robert A. Heinlein - Die Sechste Kolonne (1971)	The original English language title was "Sixth Column".
Job Lowe 4th Aug 2016		Book Henri-Paul Eydoux - Facts And Enigmas In Archaeology (1978)	The symbols on the spine are from The Phaistos Disc, one side of which is illustrated on the front cover. Additional information about The Phaistos Disc, which has been jestingly referred to as the world's first compact disc single, can be found in this PDF document.
Job Lowe 13th Jul 2016		Book Arthur Conan Doyle - A Study In Scarlet (1892)	The scan does not appear to match this title.
Job Lowe 10th Jul 2016		Book Olav Redal - En Norsk Bygds Historie (1917)	History of a Norwegian community in North Dakota, written in Norwegian and entirely typeset in fraktur.
Job Lowe 27th Jun 2016		Book Nicolaus Clenardus - Institutiones Linguae Graecae (1655)	(of course I'm not sure, but this is what I see...) H. Gowers / Given by Wm Green to me + succeeding ministers of the Hamberg meeting. The plus "+" would be read as "and", and was used as an ampersand. The handwriting looks to be newer than the book, I'd guess it was already an antiquarian book when Gowers/Hawers got it. Tried Google searches for "Homberg Club", Hamberg, Hamburg, "... meeting", and so forth, to no avail.
