Saw these three books as staging in the window of a men’s clothing store that declared bankruptcy this week. Store founded in 1818; think sheep. These books had been de-accessioned once, which is how they got into the window. Because this store is in the downtown business district and therefore likely to close permanently, these books will probably be tossed. Gamle Pybus appears to be a Danish translation of the 1928 novel Old Pybus by English writer G. Warwick Deeping (1877-1950). Pictures from the Life: Paul Gerhardt, an 1881 English-language translation of the 1845 biography of the 17th century German minister, theologian and noted hymn-writer (1607-1676). The script of the top book (German?) eludes me.
