The Trial
By Franz Kafka
Second edition, published nine years after the first edition in 1945.
Original blue cloth. A little browning to top edge of boards. Edges and endpapers somewhat foxed largely due to the quality of paper used. Knock to the top corner of text block, otherwise very good.
The original and unclipped dust jacket is very good indeed with some toning to spine panel and a few white spots to lower panel.
