Brave New World
Norwalk: Easton Press, 1978.

Full dark green leather, decoratively blocked in gilt to covers and spine, with raised bands, all edges gilt, and the volume still in the publisher’s original shrink-wrap. No dust jacket, as issued. The binding appears unopened and exceptionally well preserved, with only the usual light ripple and superficial scuffing to the shrink-wrap; no evident wear to boards or corners can be seen through the wrap.
