This is Amerikafahrt by Wolfgang Koeppen, published by Henry Goverts Verlag, Stuttgart, in 1959. It’s a German literary travel book about Koeppen’s journey through the United States. He writes about American cities, society, culture, and his impressions of postwar America. A few things stand out: * 1959 first-edition-era publication. * Original illustrated dust jacket. * Hardcover with publisher’s cloth binding. * Interesting mid-century architectural dust-jacket design. The original dust jacket is a plus for collectors. First edition: The dust jacket and book design are by Anton Stankowski, a notable German graphic designer. That makes this more interesting than an ordinary used book. GL10
