Book Description Original Wraps. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First impression of the true first edition. A paperback original. ***Near fine in white thin card stapled covers. No tears. No inscriptions. Staples clean. Spine tight. ***In a near fine black and red printed dustwrapper, that has not been price-clipped, showing original publisher's price of £2.25 net. Dustwrapper just slightly marked and rubbed at the edges. No tears. ***95 pages. 218mm x 130 mm. ***'A provocative thesis. On the slippery road to 1984, we are witnessing an unprecedented erosion of liberties in England and in the sophisticated nations overall. ***Michael Moorcock feels strongly that the radical gains of the Sixties are now being eroded, and that the issues espoused by liberals today are generally meaningless. Anger against the establishment is being channelled into the Falklands factor, anti-nuclear marches and demonstrations and causes like "animal liberation" while, in fact, human rights are everywhere threatened. ***Liberty is being whittled away, and we must all wake up to the possibility of a new political dark age as desperate times provide us with simplistic answers. 1984 might just yet start in 1984. A cry from the heart?'. (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the true first edition, a paperback original, complete in its original dustwrapper, in very nice collectable condition. ***Of interest to collectors of Michael Moorcock first editions. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 4985
