About This Item
New York: Harcourt, Brace & Co. Hardcover. Fine/Excellent. Replica copy of the First US Edition of the classic dystopian novel. Replica Edition [No publication details other than original Harcourt, Brace & Co, New York, 1949]; 314pp; tan cloth spine over plain boards, black titling to spine, fine copy; in the excellent facsimile dustjacket, spine a little faded, rubbed at extremities. We presume this to be either an anniversary edition [possibly 1999] by the now-defunct Harcourt Brace or a more recent illegitimate copy [Orwell's work came out of copyright in 2020].
