This book is a somewhat humorous and comprehensive compendium of Wilhelmine Berlin in all its facets. It largely lists people, buildings, technical facilities, and social institutions with brief, ironic comments, serves as a directory, provides a list of titles, orders, and honors, and explains in more detailed texts the social life, from customs and practices in personal interactions to sports and local establishments. It offers advice on dealing with servants, traveling, common conversation topics, and much more. This is a reprint of the instructive and entertaining reading book from 1905.
