Nineteen Eighty-Four
London: Secker & Warburg, 1949. First UK Edition. Hardcover.
Description: 8vo; 312pp; publisher's green calico-textured cloth on boards; titling stamped in purplish-red on spine; first UK edition first printing; red topstain; original dustjacket. A very good copy of an increasingly hard to find title. Light soiling to board edges (as is common with title); light foxing to outside edges; top front corner pushed slightly but still sharp; very good externally with green cloth bright and topstain vivid. slight toning to pastedowns internally as well as selected pages otherwise clean and free of all marks. Original dustjacket not price clipped (10s net) and has benefited from expert restoration to edges and repair of a tear to front.
