ORWELL, GEORGE THE ENGLISH PEOPLE
London, Collins 1947, 1st edition, hb. Slim 8vo, pp. 48. Number 100 in the "The British People in Pictures" selection of titles in the "Britain in Pictures" series. ¶ Published by Orwell after ANIMAL FARM, but before 1984. From the dj flap: "Mr. Orwell is a distinguished political journalist - distinguished especially for his honesty of opinion. This is a book with a particular political bias and should provoke those of contrary opinion to examine their own beliefs without sentimentality or hypocrisy." With eight colour plates, and 17 b&w illustrations. Decorated paper-covered front board a bit bowed. Slightest wear to tips of boards. Usual off-setting from dj flaps to endpapers. Contents exceptionally clean and bright. Overall, in near fine condition. The jacket shows slight damage to the top right corner from the removal of a price sticker. The edges are a trifle rubbed, more so at the corners and head and foot of spine, than elsewhere. Otherwise in very clean, very good condition.
