Over the last ten, fifteen years I searched from time to time in the typical places (ZVAB, booklooker etc) after a print of the original first edition of Richard Wilhelm's "I GING. Das Buch der Wandlungen" from 1924 in German.

During all this time it was either not available at all or at an outrageously high price (four-digits, usually).

BUT this changed (with the pandemic, I think).

Nowadays it is possible to get the first edition from 1924, one of only 3000 ever printed, in very good condition for around 250 Euros. Just in case someone is looking for a nice Christmas gift for themselves.


P.S.: I myself got a copy in a little bit worse condition some weeks ago (but this was an once-in-a-lifetime lucky strike), so I don't actively look out for it anymore, otherwise I would have had grabbed that one now in no time.
