Annette Kelm Joachim Ringelnatz, Kinder-Verwirr-Buch, 1931, Ernst Rowohlt Verlag, Berlin, Einbandgestaltung Joachim Ringelnatz, 2019

Annette Kelm's series of works entitled Die Bücher (EN The Books) depicts individual books banned during the National Socialist rule in Germany. Many of them were burned at public events in May 1933.

Generally shown life-sized (or slightly enlarged), the series keeps to one format, with each composition centering the book against a white background. A narrow cast shadow reveals the publication as three-dimensional object, sometimes with traces of wear and tear visible on its front, such as small tears in the dust jacket or small stains and annotations on the cover.
