first edition
1946 · USA
by George Orwell
Stated First American Edition/later issue price clipped dust jacket with the printed in the USA statement to the back flap; a Very Good book in a Very Good dust jacket. A handsome copy of this classic of 20th Century American Literature; uncommon in the first edition with an intact original jacket. This copy is in very good condition with a square tight binding, gold spine lettering with moderate fading, and clean pages throughout; the book does show some rubbing and slight fraying to the spine ends, some light soiling to the boards, and some mild age-toning to the page edges. Housed in a crisp and bright very good dust jacket that shows some mild soiling to the back panel, some light rubbing and creasing to the ends, edges, and corners, and a couple of short closed tears to the top of the back panel. Overall, a highly presentable and collectible copy; not remaindered, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar sleeve and will ship in a sturdy box.
