Hello
I just discovered today that my favorite Old Books Shop has also old
papers and books section. I looked trough a box of old pictures and
bought two of them (sometimes info who's actually on the picture is
included). Most pictures were taken in Poznan and Warsaw studios.

They have some maps too - I bought a map from 1913 covering
Wielkopolskie area. To give you an idea in left upper corner is Poznan;
in right upper is Witkowo - Rawicz (Rawitsch) and Ostrowo in bottom
corners (left and right, relatively)
If anyone is interested I can scan a part of the map (it's too big for
my scanner) but it might take a while :)

As I posted before the old pictures are of A. Rojek and Boguslawscy
family - contact me if you'd like more info.

There's also a whole lot of old postcards - basically from whole Poland
but mainly Krakow, Poznan and Czestochowa.
If anyone is desperate and would like me to do a look up for maps, books
(TONS of old German books), postcards of pictures - feel free to email
me.
I was surprised that this stuff isn't expensive - I think some people
are just decluterring and selling stuff for couple of bucks.

Done rambling for tonite (can you tell I really LOVE my new map?)

Onna :)
