Fox In publishing this soft covered book we are merely attempting to give a brief story of the history and origin of Gaudy Dutch, and it's coming to the Pennsylvania Dutch settlements of America. We appreciate the fact that there are many others who may be better informed of the subject of " Gaudy Dutch " then we, but darn knowledge notebook or pamphlet solely on Gaudy Dutch (Illustrated or otherwise) has heretofore been published, and feeling the interest and need for such a book, we completed the following in what, is our opinion, was the most useful and logical manner. We hope that it will be accepted in the spirit in which it was prepared as well as fulfilling its purpose. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 000223
