Restorers are working on 62,000 heavily damaged rare books from a fire at the Anna Amalia Library in Weimar in September. “About 10 percent of the library’s collection of a million books has been irreparably damaged, library officials say. But the 600-piece Bible collection, including Martin Luther’s 1534 copy, and the huge Faust and Shakespeare collections have been saved or only slightly damaged. And between 25,000 and 30,000 other rare books are presumed lost, listed like missing persons in a databank on the library’s Web site.”
