We're doing some downsizing and I came across a box which held some treasures from my childhood. This item was in that box. I remember receiving this from the flight attendant while I was flying to Germany as a young child on a Lufthansa plane.

Written in German
Title:
MEINE BUNTE WEITE WELT USA   Volume 4
Ueberreicht durch Lufthansa
Illustrated by J.B. Handelsman
Deutscher Text: Anneleise Urban
Looks like the copyright is approximately 1973
The premise of the book is apparently to give a little bit of insight to the culture of Americans. Interesting to look back at now because the wording definitely portrays some stereotypes which may or may not be a tad sensitive or non politically correct in today's society.
Page topics include:
- Thanksgiving (Erntedankfest),
- Drugstore counter foods/drinks such as Cola/soda, Sandwich, Corn on the Cob (Maiskolben), Hamburger, Doughnut (Krapfen)
- Amerikanuscher Sports - Football & Baseball
- Jazz music
- Yellowstone Park, Everglade Sumpflandschaft, Rocky Mountains, Texas, Disneyland, Hollywood, the smog in Los Angeles, large gas guzzling American cars, oil wells, cotton fields (Baumwolle)
- World Trade Towers (eerily shown with an airplane jet flying near them), Varrazano Bridge in New York, Amerikanischen Astronauten (Astronauts/moon landing)
- Buffalo & Native American Indianer
- Mayflower & Pilfrims (Pilgervaeter)
- Abraham Lincoln & Slaves (Sklaven)
- Samuel Morse & Telegraph
- Mississippi Steamboats (Raddampfer) & Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn
- Recipe for Hamburger (Hackfleisch)
The book is in overall great shape. It's been safely packed away for a few decades.
A bit of collector travel aviation memorabilia.
We are a SMOKE-FREE and PET-FREE household & all clothing is washed in allergen-free detergent. I continue to list additional items when I find the time.
Before listing an item, I carefully check it over & to the best of my ability, try to describe it as accurately as possible.

PayPal payment is required within 3 days of invoice receipt on auction listings. At this point, due to too many people clicking "Buy It Now" & then never actually paying for the item, my fixed price listings require immediate payment.  ***International buyers MUST pay via PayPal only.
PLEASE NOTE that I'm happy to combine shipping on multiple items purchased at the same time by the same buyer but in order to do this, you MUST contact me (with your zip code/postal code so that I can calculate an accurate shipping price) PRIOR to paying so that I can send you a combined invoice. Thanks!
Barring any crazy weather/hazardous driving situation, I ship as quickly as possible after receipt of cleared payment.
**I gladly welcome international customers but please be advised that any and all Customs/Duty fees that may incur with the import of items you purchase from me are the responsibility of you, the Buyer. I do reserve the right to cancel bids/refund payments from buyers in countries to which I cannot ship a particular item due to your nation's import restrictions.
Please base your Feedback/Star Rating of me on things that are within my control. I respectfully ask you to realize that while I get your item packaged & off to the Post Office as quickly as humanly possible, I obviously do NOT have any control of how they handle it from there.  After I drop it off at the Post Office, the transit time is in the hands of the trusty Postal Service. They're generally quite efficient but do encounter some delays at times.
Postal rates keep increasing (obviously out of my control) & I carefully weigh the items prior to listing so that there are no surprises when it comes to shipping costs. I do include a very nominal charge to cover my packaging/printing materials. While I realize that you are looking for bargains, I too need to be able to cover my expenses.
