Description:
For sale is an absolute bibliographic rarity: the complete edition of Bertolt Brecht's works in the legendary Suhrkamp edition. This is not merely a used collection of books, but a genuine archive set, in a condition 'as fresh from the bookstore of 1968'.
Condition of the volumes:
The set is in 'Mint' condition (flawless). The 20 volumes show no signs of reading on the spines; the bindings are firm and the paper is pristine white, without yellowing or foxing. It seems the books have never been fully opened. The original slipcase is also perfectly preserved, sturdy and without cracks.
The hallmark: Unfindable original inserts (ephemera)

Original wash note (September 1967): The rare orange document from Suhrkamp Verlag that introduces the work and its philological structure.
Contemporary advertising inserts: original flyers for the record series "The Voice of Bertolt Brecht" as well as original catalogs from Suhrkamp/Insel (with mentions of Ernst Bloch).
