This is the only Orwell Novel were the
American Edition preceded the English,
This must make it the most attractive to
collectors.
(Although an amazing amount of dealers
don't realise this is the true first)
This edition is beautifully put together
with orange calico grain cloth on boards
and off white floral swirl endpapers.
Orwell described this as the 'true first edition'
as opposed to the first English which he described as
'a garbled version, and should NOT be followed for
any new edition'
