They even photograph the books so that you are seeing the exact item you will get. These experts have chosen all of the items you see on this page, hand-selecting their favorite of these treasures to share with you.

Featured Item: Nineteen Eighty-Four, 1949 Edition

Take home a vintage copy of George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece. This American edition was printed in 1949 by Harcourt, Brace & World Inc., its first year of publication in both England and the United States. Nearly 75 years later, Orwell’s final and most famous work continues to resonate and be read the world-over, often deemed one of the best books of all time.
