This is a awesome resource, thanks a lot! Some of these books are of course quite old. For example I would not recommend trying to learning contemporary German using this [1] book. Reading 'fraktur' alone can be rather challenging

You have made me curios, so I'm going to read the paper. It lives under this DOI [10.2307/2295952]( https://doi.org/10.2307/2295952 ) (paywalled).
