An early American German-language manual of domestic and maternal instruction, Nützliches und sehr bewarht befundenes Weiber-Büchlein ("Useful and Well-Proven Little Book for Women") was printed in 1806 by Johann Baumann at Ephrata, Pennsylvania, and is believed to be the first edition of this title. Intended for use by pregnant women and midwives, the book provides guidance on behavior before and after childbirth, along with an appendix of remedies for both mother and child. It also includes recipes for preparing waters and tinctures to enhance complexion, as well as instructions for dyeing in red and blue. Richly reflective of Pennsylvania German pietistic and practical traditions, this rare imprint stands at the intersection of early American midwifery, folk medicine, and women's domestic literature.

The parcel was packaged and wrapped with significant care, I didn’t recognize it was my package at first due to its size…I would’ve gladly paid shipping fees for this kind of extensive packaging. Nothing was damaged during transit and it arrived on time, excellent work! The item itself is also exactly as described by the seller, no more no less. I am well satisfied with this purchase. Great seller!! A+++
Fantastic seller. Contacted me almost immediately with shipping details and an explanation about a potential delay due to the Juneteeth holiday. Book was wrapped in a ridiculous amount of bubble wrap so it would arrive safely. So awesome to have a book from the early 1800s on free trade. This was absolutely a great value and would buy from again! I have zero complaints.
