About this Item

5 star AbeBooks seller means you will get the book quickly in the condition described. Tracking information on every item. Ship same or following day from East Village Books in Manhattan. Over thirty years on Saint Mark's Place, in the literary heart of downtown. Look us up! A very good copy of the extremely rare 1939 Stackpole Sons Complete Unauthorized edition of Mein Kampf. The dust jacket (which for the age is wonderful) states that "This edition Pays no Royalties to Adolf Hitler." Until this book was published Hitler had prevented an uncensored, unabridged edition of Mein Kampf to be published outside Germany in English. Stackpole published the book without permission of the American licensed publishers (Houghton & Mifflin). A total of 11,500 copies were printed between December of 1938 and February of 1939, but the ensuing lawsuit resulted in all copies of this edition being retrieved from distribution within 90-days by order of the Court, so the only copies in circulation and existing today would be those that happened to be purchased during that short time. Few copies exist in the marketplace today. Large 8vo. 669 pages. Publishers black cloth boards with silver titles to the front and spine. Overall a desirable and rare copy of one of the most controversial books ever published.
