This 80 year old hardcover example of Balkenkreuz über Wüstensand is in very nice used condition. The spine has been beautifully repaired, and while the covers show some wear the content is in very nice, little-used condition. No odor.

The last page has advertising for the fine Stalling Verlag photo publication Narvik im Bild.
