My German is almost non-existent, but it says something like:<br /><br />Berlin, Jonas Berlag bookshop<br />1877<br /><br />You might want to take a look at how to care for leather. I know zilch about that, but I have seen badly deteriorated old leather.

It would be wonderful to know the history behind it..who brought it over and when. Can you imagine how many beautiful books like this were destroyed by Hitler during those ordered book burnings..how sad.
