summary

Very curiously bound, with upper margin as spine (comparable to a journalist’s note-book). Lower cover with Hebrew owner’s inscription: Joseph Novak, Krakow Ghetto. Possibly have been bound as such to aid in keeping the book concealed in time of duress?

ff.(7),144,143-192,(2). Some wear through heavy use, few minor worm-holes neatly repaired. 20th century linen boards. Sm. 4to
