NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR (1984) | 1949, finely bound first edition, first Impression (Royal Green binding)

A fine first edition, first impression of George Orwell's dystopian masterpiece, Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984). The present example is elevated by the beautiful and finely crafted design binding in Royal Green (I also have similar first edition, first impression example in Navy) 

Both unique design bindings are dramatically bound in full morocco and hand tooled with 23 carat gold leaf. They have hand sewn silk headbands and as mentioned are available in both Royal Green and Navy bindings.

An exceedingly rare and unique first edition of one of the most important books every written (and also one of the most banned).

Description and Condition:

First edition, first impression, 8vo, bound in full morocco and hand tooled with 23 carat gold leaf. A fine example externally and near-fine internally with some minor fixing here and there commensurate with age. A beautiful copy of a rare title.
