Some years ago, when I called Hesse's bibliographer Joseph Mileck about these volumes, he informed me that he had not yet seen a wrappered set. We have since then seen only one other set come up for sale. The wrappered set is far harder to find than the hardbound set. Rare. Mileck, Volume 1, pp. 204-12. . Good. Stiff Wrappers. Erste Ausgabe. First Edition.. 1943.
