I already have the French Revolution, it was part of my reading for a seminar decades ago. As for the rest:

Burgund und seine Herzöge in Augenzeugenberichten
Der Dreißigjährige Krieg in Augenzeugenberichten
Die Deutsche Revolution 1848/49 in Augenzeugenberichten
Die Hugenottenkriege in Augenzeugenberichten
Die Kreuzzüge in Augenzeugenberichten
Die Reformation in Augenzeugenberichten
Die Türken vor Wien in Augenzeugenberichten
Revolution und Räterepublik in München 1918/19 in Augenzeugenberichten

but only in the long term, when you get bargains. I'M really overcrowded right now anyway.

Noted!

If you want to return the favor, my copy of Hagendorf's diary arrived yesterday, but I haven't been able to find a copy of the second edition for sale, only the first one where the diarist hadn't been identified yet. If you should happen to find yourself in a library that has the copy on the shelves, and you have some free time, and the book lends itself to scanning, I would appreciate a scan of whatever introductory material in the second edition talks about the identification of Hagendorf.

No rush, I have a ton of books ahead of it on my reading list! I also owe you guys a Struensee/Denmark write-up, maybe this weekend.
