From the library of Orwell scholar and former UCL deputy librarian Ian Angus, with his neat pencilled ownership to the front free endpaper. Angus was the co-editor of Orwell’s Collected Journalism, Essays and Letters published in 1968 and also later contributed to editing the enormous 20-volume edition of Orwell’s Complete Works published 1997-8. A very good copy overall, gentle lean to text-block, edges slightly dusty but contents otherwise clean and unmarked, bjacket with some light edge wear, including a short closed tear to head of spine panel with tear along head cap and a small sellotape repair to verso of front flap fold.

• Year: 1978
