Verband der Antiquare Österreichs Antiquariat Kainbacher
Into the South Sea â The first âBibliophile Eveningâ held at Dr. Paul Kainbacher Rare Books in Baden (Vienna)
On Saturday, November 8th, the Austrian antiquarian bookseller Dr. Paul Kainbacher had invited collectors and colleagues to his antiquarian bookshop in Baden (next to Vienna), Elisabethstrasse 33. The shop was the perfect location for the “Bibliophile Evening” which was dedicated to The Exploration of the South Sea.
The bookshop welcomed numerous guests, among them collectors and book lovers from Germany, Austria and Finland as well as scientists and explorers from various university departments. They all had come to see the most beautiful books and to listen to highly interesting lectures by European experts of the South Sea such as Prof. Hermann Mückler (Vienna University) and Ms. Anke Oberlies (German James Cook Society).
The next Bibliophile Evening will be held in spring and will deal with The Exploration of Africa – The Heart of Darkness.
