===Additional heraldic books by Koffie Hag=== | |||
In 1913 Tiete van der Laars issued in 1913 a book ‘Wapens, Vlaggen en Zegels van Nederland', dealing mainly with the National and provincial arms and some general heraldic texts. This book was issued in two versions, with a white and a blue cover. The initial letters on the 1913 book were printed in red. | |||
The book was reprinted by Koffie Hag around 1927-1930, but no new date is mentioned in the books. The book was identical to the original 1913 version, but was reprinted with the titles on the cover page fully black. No reference of the Koffie Hag company was made on the front or the main text of the book. Only in the back additional promotion material was added/glued. This promotional material, strangely enough, only contains information on the (claimed) health effects of caffeine-free coffee. No reference is made to the heraldic albums. At least two different sets of promotional material have been used, probably more sets have been used. No date is mentioned, but in one of the texts a quote from a doctor is dated a 1.10.'27. In my other book on the other hand is a statement that the book was presented as a gift on June 17, 1927. The reprint thus probably dates from (early) 1927 and either different sets of promotional material were added to the same edition during the years, or the book was at least printed twice in 1927/1928. But no later as 1930, when the book was reprinted again. | |||
On the 1930 version the name of the Koffie Hag company is now mentioned in front. The 1930 version also has a different printer (see the front) and an additional preface by S. van der Laars, where he also thanks Koffie Hag. The promotional material was no longer added, but instead a number of pages were included on the heraldic albums and the benefits of coffein free coffee. These were now printed in the same style and font as the rest of the book. This section is dated as Amsterdam, 1930 and this date appears only at the end of the book, not in front. | |||
It is hard to keep the issues apart, as in all 4 issues the main text, including the internal front covers and preface(s) are identical and all state 1913. All 1913-1930 issues have 176 numbered pages. Without the Hag additions that is. | |||
Finally the book was again reprinted in 1989, but now with a different dust cover and a clear colophon indicating a new reprint. | |||

===Information on coffee, Koffie Hag and heraldry=== | |||
These pages appeared on different parts of the albums, either on the back of an empty page, or as separate pages. | |||
The latter can be placed anywhere in the albums and are often absent. All pages are combined in the file below: | |||
