Super Rare Design Books On Ebay

rarebooks.jpg

I was just doing some ebay searching and found auctions for two VERY VERY rare graphic design books.

Publicity and Graphic Design in the Chemical Industry* (Chemie Werbung Und Grafik) – Published in 1967.

Moderne Werbe Und Gebrauchs Grafik Published in 1980.

Both are part of the ABC Verlag series of design books and are authored by Hans Neuburg.

I own both books and dropped a nice chunk of change for them, but they’re so worth it. You almost never find these two books anywhere so this is a super rare opportunity for some lucky person. I wanted to give you guys the heads up so one of you could grab them first. No bids on them yet so you can probably get them for a good price. And no, I have nothing to do with these auctions. Just wanted to spread the love.

  3. I am wondering…
    Would you post these auctions if you were interested in those books?
    Probably not (150 euros and growing)
    Anyway, it’s your blog, you post all what you want…
    Well, despite all, congratulations for your blog and many thanks for sharing your collection

  5. Antonio,
    I think what Frank is trying to say is that since you already own the books and aren’t interested in bidding, by posting them on aisleone, you may have somehow increased traffic to the auctions, and thereby increased the bidding. However, the reality is that most people probably didn’t even know about those particular books in the first place, so unless you pointed the auction out, they wouldn’t have been able to bid!
    Sheesh! I’m spent!

  6. Hi.
    First, your blog is great!!! Always turns up great new stuff.

    I realy like the look of these books. You said you own both of them already so I was wondering how you’d feel about posting some spreads from them on your blog to let those of us who won’t be able to get our hands on them see whats inside? I know I’d realy like a little look at what’s inside them!

    Cheers!

  8. Thanks Antonio for the flickr link. I might convert some of those to pdf for my digital library, especially those sign/symbol manuals. That cool with you?
