1984 by George Orwell (Signet Classic Mass Market Paperback)

Vintage Signet Classic mass-market paperback edition of George Orwell’s 1984, published by New American Library / Penguin. This edition includes the afterword by Erich Fromm and a revised and updated bibliography. The copyright page states First Signet Classic Printing, July 1950, while the number line on this copy runs down to 92, identifying it as the 92nd printing. ISBN 0-451-52493-4. The striking metallic blue-and-black cover is an older Signet design and this copy presents very well overall, with bright color, a solid binding, and only light edge wear and age toning. Bibliographic records for this ISBN confirm the 268-page Signet mass-market format and later high-number printings of the same edition.
