1912réf. 5021065Berlin Ontario: German Printing and Publishing Co 1912. First Edition. Hardcover. Fair. 1st printing. Oblong green gilt-stamped 4to cloth. Unpaginated but well over 200pps. Illustrated with b/w photos portraits and several ads with color toning or outlining. "Special Articles & Illustrative features by Maxwell Publicity Service." "Made in Berlin." Berlin Ontario changed its name in 1961 to Kitchener according to several sources because of rising anti-German sentiment. Originally in 1833 the name was chosen after the capitol of Prussia. Decorative endpapers. Both hinges are "broken" meaning the paper is cracked at the inside hinges and the webbing there is floppy. I have decided not to attempt a cheap repair on this volume & would recommend the buyer take it to a professional in the bookbinding trade. It is too valuable a book to fix it incorrectly. The cloth is moderately soiled & has some moderate wear at the extremities.The quality of the paper the images and advertising and the details of historical and biographical text is really quite extraordinary. There is no age/musty odor which is usually typical of these sorts of books with glossy page stock. The city fathers & businessmen literally titled "Who's Who" are well represented. The ads are splendid. There is a map of "Rural and Long Distance Lines of the Bell Telephone Company in the Waterloo District." The lithographed photos are excellent; they are sharp & properly exposed. Includes group portraits for example of "29th Regimental Band of Berlin "Grey's Horse Troop" There is a splendid 24" x 9" folding Dominion Day "Berlin Ontario" birds eye photograph highlighting in the caption that Berlin is the "furniture centre of Canada." This is really a quality book that needs some careful hinge repair. Although in a number of Canadian libraries this book hardly ever shows up on the resale market. Because of the hinges I have graded this copy "fair." c. German Printing and Publishing Co hardcover
