(wm-pcp) On 6 December 2024, Dieter Michelson presented the concept of a forthcoming bibliophile edition of all or some of the ERIVAN catalogues for the auction houses Heinrich Köhler, Corinphila and H. R. Harmer in Monte Carlo during this year’s MonacoPhil exhibition.

Similar to the BOKER edition by Volker Parthen more than 20 years ago, a special ERIVAN edition is currently being planned and a ‘dummy’ copy of it could already be seen at the GPN company stand in Monaco. A total of 29 catalogues are available to purchase as a complete set, but also individually or in groups. These include the 17 volumes of Altdeutschland by Heinrich Köhler, eight volumes of USA by H. R. Harmer, three volumes by Corinphila and – last but not least – a volume of Worldwide Rarities. Old German with 17 hardcover volumes costs 850 euros, USA 450 euros, Switzerland/Austria/Zeppelin 150 euros and the catalogue ‘Worldwide Rarities’ 70 euros.

The price for the complete set of 29 volumes is indeed a ‘hammer price’ in keeping with the hammer prices printed in red in the hardcover volumes – in English often called ‘hammer prices’: at 1,100 euros, you can get the complete set for just 38 euros on average! Provided that you subscribe to the series, individual catalogues or catalogue groups by 31 March 2025 at the latest. Delivery is scheduled for August 2025. Auctioneers Heinrich Köhler are guaranteeing these prices, provided that at least 100 orders are placed. Contact: Heinrich Köhler, e-mail: info@heinrich-koehler.de, phone: +49 (0)611/34 14 9 0.
