Is anyone aware of any good books available on old German printing? I have found several websites which were helpful to me but it would be good to have a reference book on it. I have almost completed translating a funeral card but one word which appears several times has me completely stumped. When you initially look at the word it looks like "cukes". The printing on this word is different from the lettering on the rest of the card. Su_e_ The first letter is an s and the second is a u with umlauts. The script drastically changes on the third letter. It looks like the simple s that is a straight down slash but at the bottom right of the slash there are to circles similar to the bottom of a b. The fourth letter is an e. The fifth letter looks exactly like a small case s with a tail over the top. Does any of this sound familiar to any of you. None of the web pages I've found have either one of these strange letters on it. All of the rest of the old printing was on the websites! I'd appreciate any input! Thanks! Michele Birkner
