It was just an advertisement for a new book about south east Asia with
some features like limited to 1500 books; bound by hand with linnen (or
linen ?) and leather by someone who also bound the Gutenberg Bible; with a
preface by Mr. Somlabh Kitiyakara, descendent of king Chulalongkorn of
Thailand; recommended by the literature council of the German minister of
science, research and art; including 72 color pictures.
Contents: * expedition to the sone age people of West Irian
* report about the opium trade in Lao
* insight into the asian life style:
Thailand India Bali Himalaya Pakistan Nepal Ceylon Indonesia
So it was competely off topic. But I hope that helps.
Regards,
Tobias from Germany
