Craig-

I dont know what the costing is now.

Its an extraordinary work: most plants have local glosses in Kuanua, Pala 
(Patpatar), and Lamekot (East Kara)  plus some other languages.

from the intro notes: by Sleumer
Peekel was in NI and NB from 1904-1928, in Germany on study leave in 1929, 
back in NI from 1930? until the War.  Peekel survived the Japanese 
occupation, and he died in 1949 in Rabaul.

He also wrote a "Comparative Dictionary of 40 Pacific Languages", and 
"Investigations on the development and significance of Pacific 
vocabularies" - 6 volumes in manuscript were, as they say, "unfortunately 
lost in the war"


[NB In some libraries the original material is held: eg:
