My first edition copy of Orwell's 1984 (lemmy.world)

My father bought it when it came out because he loved Orwell and instilled a love of Orwell in me (my favorite novel of his is Coming Up for Air). I doubt this copy is worth much. It's got some folded page corners and, obviously, has lost the dust cover. But I treasure it.

Nice! I have an Upton Sinclair first edition 'Little Steel'. Looks to be the same binding.
