Else Lasker- Schüler – Ich räume auf – Signed Copy
Ich räume auf – Meine Anklage gegen meine Verleger [I Put Things Straight – My Indictment of my Publishers], by Else Lasker-Schüler. Zurich: Lago Verlag, 1925. German.
Booklet published by Lasker-Schüler herself, with extreme criticism against the world of publishing during the Weimar Republic, when books turned into "merchandise" like any other merchandise, and the right of authors to make a living depended on their ability to sell their books. Some of the printing details on the title page were erased, and in their place is an ink-stamp with updated details. Signed by the author at the bottom of the title page. On the last page is a list of books published by the author. 40pp, 22.5cm. Fair-good condition. Delicate paper and binding. Slight tears.
