George Orwell, 1984
Harcourt Brace & Company, 1949. 8vo. 314 pp. Book-of-the-Month Club edition (corresponding to, and with the same dust jacket design as the first American edition). This was the first book club edition issued, having cloth boards, a '3.00$' price on dust jacket flap, and 'first edition' stated on copyright page. Blind stamp present. Good condition. Former owner's name on front free endpaper, stamp on half-title page--otherwise clean. Blue-variant dust jacket (book was also issued with red dust jackets at the same time, no priority apparent) is very good with just a little bit of wear along its edges (see photo).
Note: many (if not most) of the hardcover copies of 1984 being sold on the internet as first American editions are in fact book club editions such as this one.
