In January, I bought from Mark Funke @funkebooks.bsky.social @FunkeBooks the early theatrical writings of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing.

Rare item, masterfully catalogued, lovingly packaged--with pencil

One of the nicest as well as best rare book dealers!

Thank you kindly! We try to price reasonably, especially when condition warrants it. We also do not use third-party resellers such as Abe or EBay and that keeps costs down. Find our early books here:
