About This Item
The Folio Society, 1970. Hardcover. Acceptable. Book and slipcase. Introduction by Bob Edwards. Book has fading and foxing to the spine. Title in black with gilt shadowing is still mildly faded, however the cloth cover on the spine does show signs of wearing. Photographic boards are slightly dirty with thumbprints. Corner tips remain square. Tanning in gutter of title page, with the other pages lightly yellowed. Pages unmarked. Textured red slipcase is faded, chipped, stained, scraped, with bumped corners and worn on all edges of the case. In other words, it's been around the block. Could be of interest for fans of George Orwell. 214 pps.
