« on: February 14, 2010, 06:21:41 am »
hello there everyone, i hope you someone here can help me with a Dutch Dictionary my dad picked up from the tip!
this book is all in Dutch language and it was made in 1893 by R. K. Kuipers, so this book is over 100 years old! wow!
its a little old book with exactly 1200 pages. iv done some research on the book already and it says that this was the first dutch dictionary but i cant find how rare the dictionary is or what the price of it is. the book had no paper cover on it when we found it and the pages are very old, smelly, hard and stuck together. also the spine is very tatted and ruined and the pages are all un-even. there is also a signature on the second page, i took a picture of it up-close and i didn't write it, i dont know who wrote it because im only 15 years old okay, this book is older than me!
here are some pictures.
