About this Item

First English language edition, first printing. [vi], 74 pp. Bound in publisher's charcoal-colored paper boards over blue cloth spine lettered in black and blue printed title label to upper board. Near Fine with lean to binding, slight toning to spine, light wear. Former owner's name on front free endpaper, small spot of abrasion to top edge of front gutter. A nicer than commonly found copy of Kafka's masterpiece translated by English folklorist and key figure of the post-WWII British folk music revival, A. L. Lloyd. Lloyd's translation swiftly went out of print amidst abysmal sales, much like the first German edition Die Verwandlung. Flores p. 20.
