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.

The first edition of that was listed in hundreds if not thousands of dollars last I checked on ebay.

Better not let it go, ever!

Not planning on it, although I'm guessing my daughter will eventually sell it. She's not especially interested in Orwell.
