Description
Offered here is a standard-format wartime edition ofMein Kampf, dating to 1941, preserved with its rare original paper dust jacket ('paper-in-cover'), a feature that is very often missing. This fragile paper wrapper was intended to protect the book and, as is typical, it absorbed most of the wear over time.The paper dust jacket is present and complete but shows period repairs with tape on the inside, clearly visible and entirely consistent with the inherent fragility of these wrappers. Such repairs are commonly encountered and were often done decades ago simply to keep the jacket intact. Despite this, the jacket still displays well and adds significant value and historical interest to the book.Because the dust jacket has protected it throughout its life, the blue cloth hard cover beneath is in exceptional, near-perfect condition. The cloth is clean and tight, with a beautifully preserved gilt Reich eagle on the front cover and gilt spine lettering reading 'Adolf Hitler – Mein Kampf', all sharp and bright. This is exactly the condition collectors hope to find when a paper jacket has survived.Inside, the book is complete, retaining the title page and the photographic frontispiece, which is sometimes missing in other examples. The interior pages show normal, honest age toning only and remain solidly bound. The publishing details correspond to a 1941 printing by Zentralverlag der NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachf., München.Overall, this is a high-quality collector's example: a 1941Mein Kampfwith a rare surviving paper dust jacket, an exceptionally well-preserved blue cloth binding, and a complete interior. An excellent display piece and a strong addition to any WWII-era political book or historical reference collection, especially for collectors seeking originality and condition.
