Another Jahn Cousin Get-Together!

Suzie flew in from Sonoma and Jackie from Seattle, both to Lincoln, NE. Then Karen and the two sisters drove up to the Twin Cities. Cousin Paul joined them Sunday about noon and took them to lunch at the Wise Acre Eatery (http://wiseacreeatery.com/). The verdict? Delicious!


Then off around Minneapolis and St. Paul, including this stop at the famous 'Spoonbridge and Cherry' near the Walker Art Center and Guthrie Theater.


A good time was had by all!

First Edition Found!

Gustav Jahn's Neuer Frühling (New Spring), a book of poems to his second wife, Dorothea von Dieskau, was printed in at least two editions. The 2nd edition, published in 1868, is fairly easy to find. But not the 1st edition from 1856. Until now! You can see the details of my order to the bookseller in Germany at the bottom of this post. I have also included a link to the site with the search criteria for seeing all books for sale today by Gustav Jahn. If you end up buying any, let me know!
