<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fid, post: 2511237, member: 7724&quot;]Tauchnitz is not the problem. London was the problem with their meanness to block off all import of printed material in English in their Empire and trying to impose their legislations everywhere ? a bit of pressure to Chili perhaps ? furthermore Valparaiso had certainly bigger problems with all the natural catastrophes it went through than to look after a binding house for a few English readers. do you really think it made a big difference in the overall price from Europe around the Magellan Straits up to Valparaiso ?</p><p>when Kirsinger wrote to Tauchnitz and ordered these books then he wrote in German. </p><p>and what should the idea be of Tauchnitz not doing hardbounds ? that was the standard then, especially as did Bibles as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
