I've acquired another Oscar Holderer artifact for our space museum and would like to know your opinion on it's value. Oscar has sent me his old German Engineers Handbook, dated 'Berlin 1954'. It is entirely in German and has over 1290 pages. The inside front cover and the first page has his name stamped on them and he has signed the first page for me as well. Though I don't know a word of German, the cover has this on it: HUTTE des ingenieurs taschenbuch

Anyway, I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

It's a standard encyclopedia for engineers, first published in 1857 - H�tte's pocket book for engineers.

Here is an offer for the reprint of the first edition on amazon.de.
