Blickfang – The Eye-Catching Covers of Weimar Berlin

3981775794_caf0b2765c_b

Will of A Journey Round My Skull shares with us twenty-five book covers and posters from the out-of-print bookBlickfang: Bucheinbände und Schutzumschläge Berliner Verlage 1919 – 1933.

The book features a thousand images, so these 25 are but a small taste. I’m dying to see what other treasures are in its out-of-print pages. Will also astutely points out that Blickfang is German for eye catcher.

    If you like the Golden entertainment of the 1920s, you might like Brendan McNally's dark comic novel “Germania” (Simon & Schuster, 2009), about the Flying Magical Loerber Brothers, four somewhat magical, Jewish vaudeville entertainers and onetime child stars who were the toast of Berlin before WWII and who reunite during the surreal, three-week “Flensburg Reich” of Admiral Doenitz, Hitler's very unlucky successor.
