Neverending Story by Michael Ende
I have a copy of original German version of Neverending Story by Michael
Ende, copyright 1979 by Thienemanns Verlag Stuttgart. It is a first edition, but I cannot find anything anywhere about whether this book might be worth anything or not. I've found plenty about the 1983 English translation, but not this one. Any other website that might be useful is in German and as I don't speak German, they're pretty useless. I've tried translating the pages, but it was still mostly gibberish. I've also tried numerous price guides, but they either only list the translated version, or they don't list it at all. Does anybody know anything about this book and it's value or lack thereof? Thanks in advance. |

The book was popular among collectors (including me) for a while, but the
value has come down. Still, I don't think I've ever seen the German 1st offered, so it's hard to appraise. I'd guess maybe $75-$100, although perhaps it is exceptionally rare. You need to find an Ende expert. It's a great find, whatever the value. ---Mike "Alyson" wrote in message nk.net...

Still, I had to have it just for the interior art and the _gorgeous_ silk covers. It's one of the most beuatiful modern novels from a design standpoint. |

I was under the impression it was just blindstamped. Might have to track a copy down if that's the case. |
