The True Fairytale of Clever Hans

84pp, illustrated with colour and black and white photographs throughout.  Brown cloth-covered boards with gitl lettering front and spine.  Square 8vo.  Cloth is a little rubbed on extreme edges, a little scuffed at spine tips.  Internally neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. As an alternative to the official corporate history, this is the story of Hansgrohe, the German plumbing and sanitary fittings manufacturer founded by Hans Grohe in 1901, retold in the style of a Grimm Brothers fairy story.  Hansgrohe, established in the Black Forest village of Schitach has become a global enterprise although it remained a family-owned business for many years.  The first edition of this story was issued in 2007; this volume references events up to 2008 so is likely a later edition.
