Most famous work of the Silesian-born German-American poet. Probably first published in 1917. Possibly only the one volume published: no copies in the Horner Library Philadelphia or in the Library of Congress. Milwaukee Public Library gives no details on year of publication and lists only one volume. Brumder was the leading publisher of German books in Milwaukee. - On the occasion of the publication of a selection of Baum's work in 1933, Wm. Dehorn recalled his "vielgepriesener Gedichtband: Das stille Buch. Bald nach dem Erscheinen dieses Werkes kamen die bitteren Jahre des Weltkrieges und eines chaotischen Übergangs hüben und drüben, mit ihrem Generalangriff gegen die Seele. Schwer enttäuscht wandte sich der Lyriker ab und wurde weltflüchtig, denn inmitten einer brutalen Wirklichkeit, die Individuum und Gemeinschaft sprengt, kann das reine Gefühl, die Harfe des Dichters, nicht klingen. Nicht wenigen ist Das stille Buch eine Stimme der Sehnsucht geworden.".
