ORWELL, George. Animal Farm
ORWELL, George. Animal Farm. London: Secker and Warburg. 1965. 8vo. First reset edition. Publisher’s green cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the superb dust jacket designed by Denis Piper. A near fine copy, the cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square, with a few spots to top edge. The contents fine throughout. The dust jacket clipped with original printed price of 12s 6d net retained, some light nicks and closed tears to some edges, but a very pleasing copy overall.
Orwell’s canonical text and perhaps his most famous. The jacket designer, Denis ‘Pip’ Piper was very much in-demand in the 1960s, rubbing shoulders with Lucien Freud, John Minton and the likes. Dust jackets were his bread and butter, and such was his ability and reputation, he often had free rein over his designs. Scarce in such nice condition.
