The present copy has all the requisite first issue points. Burgess' best known book and although he was of the opinion Earthly Powers was his masterpiece, like many authors on the matter he was wrong. Clockwork Orange is far, far more than the source book for a great film, it remains a tremendous work in its own right.

First edition, first impression, first issue binding and first issue dust jacket; 8vo; page stock mildly toned as always, light spotting to prelims and margins, else unmarked internally; publisher's black boards, titles to spine gilt, with the original unclipped pictorial dust jacket designed by Barry Trengrove priced 16s, typical sunning to spine, minor edge-wear, else a very sharp copy.
