Secker & Warburg, London, 1949
First Edition, First Printing A lovely copy of this title with a near fine vibrant dust jacket.
The book is very good/near fine condition with light green cloth boards with bright red titles to spine. The boards have slightly rounded corners with one corner bump. The book has no edgewear but with some of the common toning to the outer edges and a few gentle surfaced indents (they don’t show in the images but are present). The green cloth is clean, and the spine titles and top red stains are both strong and bright. Internally the book is extremely clean and fresh with but a bit of very faded spotting to the end papers, otherwise No owner names, No inscriptions, No bookplate, No handling marks, No stains, No bent pages, and No foxing. A lovely book with internally crisp, clean pages. Please see the many images.
The rare original green dust jacket has benefited from some very slight restoration by an expert paper conservator to the spine tips and as such presents as a near fine stunning example. The Nineteen Eighty-Four jacket is known to be extremely fragile, and usually in pieces or missing altogether. This jacket has strong vibrant colors with no rips, no chips, no edgewear, no stains, no fading, no rubbing and no foxing. Slight toning to the rear panel. The jacket is NOT price clipped, and has a stated price of 10s. net. Please see detailed images.
A well priced copy with a lovely near fine original first printing dust jacket. Presents well on the shelf.
