Nineteen Eighty-four: The Facsimile of the Extant Manuscript - Hardcover
Very Good, 'Nineteen Eighty-Four: The Facsimile of the Extant Manuscript.' Royal Folio. xix, 381pp. Coloured endpapers. Very good clean tight sound square, no bookplate, inscription or marks of any kind, clean crisp corners and edges, tight hinges and joints, appears unread. In bright gilt lettered grey cloth and the original David Wray white dustwrapper with red framed black text, short closed tear to head of upper wrapper not intruding or detracting in the least. Parallel text, Orwell's 'revealing and moving' handwritten manuscript alongside Davidson's transcript with his scholarly introduction, notes and analysis. 'Orwell strove to ensure that the final draft met the very highest standards of modern English Prose; his own.' A delight for reader, scholar and collector alike, and a wonderful gift. Very heavy volume will occasion additional postage, perhaps prohibitive overseas.
