My Bismarck bibliography does not claim to be exhaustive; it is merely an attempt, and if the material I have compiled can serve as a starting point for more qualified authors and more thorough research, I already see that as fulfilling the purpose of this work. As the basis for my work, I used the Bismarck literature by Schulze-Koller, the rather sparse bibliographic information in Horst Kohl's Bismarck Yearbook, and finally the German, French, English, Italian, Czech, and Hungarian book lexicons, as well as the catalogs of the British Museum and the Bibliothèque Nationale. This Bismarck bibliography, published in several editions between 1909 and 1912, is likely the most extensive and complete collection of literature references on Bismarck. Reprint of the improved 2nd edition.
