You are bidding on one antique German paperback pamphlet, "Die Cameliendame" (The Lady with the Camelias) by Alexandre Dumas. This pamphlet is one of a series, the Reclam Universal-Bibliothek, printed in Leipzig, Germany around 1870. The text is printed in Fraktur, the old-German type face. The pamphlet series is still being printed today, see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reclams_Universal-Bibliothek.
This pamphlet is in fair condition, several pages have torn corners, the binding and the back are intact but the front cover is missing.
