My family on my dad's side is german, my grandparents were from Germany. My sisters and I went to a german immersion school growing up. I took german classes until I was in grade 10.  While I've grown rusty over the years, I still collect german editions of books.

Are there any publishers that you just gravitate towards, or any imprint logos that you just can't help but like looking at ..read more
