Description

Der Geschwinde Rechner, Oder Des Geschäftsmannes Schulsse Beim Kauf Und Berfauf Ver in Thalern Und Cents Mit Vielen Nusslichen Tabellen . Harrisburg, PA: ... Peters, 1849. 144 pages. [Pardon any mistakes in my German transcription, please.] This slim volume (5 1/2" by 3") was a set of tables that served as a financial calculator for farmers and businessmen in the Pennsylvania German community of Western Pennsylvania in the 1840s. It's in its original binding of quarter leather and marbled boards. There's a former owner's name (Cornelius Moser) in ink on front flyleaf. Book is solid, but has edge wear and some foxing throughout.

    EXTREMELY QUICK SHIPPING! WONDERFUL PACKING JOB!!!! A+++ I'm used to sellers taking 3-4 days to pack and ship, then another 7-10 days for media mail to go across the country by horse and buggy, but nope, this seller shipped next day and now I'm enjoying my new book(to complement it's matching Volume 1). Thanks again! A++++ experience
