A volume in the Definitive Edition of The Works of Franz Kafka. Octavo. Original blue cloth binding with gilt titles. The boards are ever so slightly bowed with some fading along the spine and a minor bump to the spine head. The dust jacket is browned along the spine and folds with a single tape reinforcement to the verso; else very good. Secker and Warburg hardcover books
