wenn die männer wüssten...

another german book...i purchased this one at a thrift store in weisbaden...really a hidden gem. the illustrations by emilio grau-sala are magical, one day i'll photograph all of them and post them on my flickr page. until then, this little teaser must do. i can't read it, but the illustrations seem to progress from courtship to lover to marriage to family to midlife crisis to affair to fun times...which is somewhat comical and makes me wonder what it's truly about, especially since the title translates to something like, 'if the men knew...'
