This dystopian novel is often called one of the best books of the 20th century, and it has been a frequently banned book since it was first published.

Boards with a couple of small stains and light scratches on lower board; some separation from text block at head; previous owner's bookplate on front paste-down; light scattered foxing and toning concentrated at endpapers, gutters, and edges, occasional offsetting and small edge tear, and rare minor finger grime; a few leaves with evidence of being opened roughly. A very good copy of this scarce limited edition.
