Orwell, George

ISBN 10: 0436350181 / ISBN 13: 9780436350184

Published by Martin Secker & Warburg Ltd, London, 1969

All four volumes in the set are matching and all are second impression, 1969. On the whole these are nice clean copies, albeit with somewhat spotted boards. The dust jackets are generally very nice with One and Three being price clipped, Two and Four are not. Each volume is in similar condition, somewhat toned at the page block edge and each has quite a few underlined sections and margin notes in light pencil. None of which takes away from the text, so these are excellent working copies at the very least. The dust jackets are of the non glossy type, so do have some light rubbing/loss of a little colour particularly to the spines. All are tad edge worn, more especially Vol. 3, which has a couple of small holes in the lower half at the front hinge. This is a VG and presentable set. Photos available promptly on request.
