For someone knowing neither Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Danish nor German, it might be easy to confuse those languages. The first owner stated by the ebay seller is called Thor Olsson - definitely not a German name, more Scandinavian.

Anyway, a BIN of 595 Dollars suggests that the seller is looking for a

serious fiancial compensation for letting go of the scrapbook. Will it

be worth it, I wonder?

If it should prove to be German, and be bought by a list member, I´d be happy to help in deciphering the contents. I´m not talking of a full-blown translation, no time for that, but something going in that direction.
