Original Wraps. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Jacket, as Issued. Roger Mayne (Cover photograph) (illustrator). First Paperback Edition. A first printing of the first UK paperback edition published on 22nd Mar 1962 - Penguin Catalogue No. 1698 - priced at 3/6 on the front cover - with a classic 1960s-style pictorial cover with evocative photograph by street photographer Roger Mayne. Originally published as a hardback in the UK in 1936 by Victor Gollancz, and re-issued in 1954 by Secker & Warburg. ***A very good copy in illustrated orange-red card covers. The covers have some marks and creasing commensurate with age and handling, but are very clean - just some light marks on the back cover. The spine is really clean with only very light reading creases. There is no lean to the binding but the spine is slightly curved from reading. No fading to the covers. Internally the book is also very good, with the original owner's initials at the top corner of the half-title page. No serious creases or tears, but please note that there is some stain marking at the top margin of p.14, but only slightly affecting the text (please see scans). There is also a small closed tear to the fore-edge of p. 155/6. The paper stock is slightly tanned with age as usual. No foxing. No dustwrappers were issued on these later Penguin editions. ***264 pages plus a six page publisher's catalogue at the back of the book, extending onto the inside back cover. 182mm x 111mm. ***'"Keep the Aspidistra Flying", first published in 1936, is a socially critical novel by George Orwell set in 1930s London. The main theme is Gordon Comstock's romantic ambition to defy worship of the money-god and status, and the dismal life that results. Orwell wrote in a letter to George Woodcock dated 28 September 1946 that "Keep the Aspidistra Flying" was one of the two or three of his books that he was ashamed of because it "was written simply as an exercise and I oughtn't to have published it, but I was desperate for money. At that time I simply hadn't a book in me, but I was half starved and had to turn out something to bring in £100 or so." Orwell did not want either this book or "A Clergyman's Daughter" reprinted during his lifetime. Orwell's biographer Jeffrey Meyers finds the novel flawed by weaknesses in plot, style and characterisation, but praises "a poignant and moving quality that comes from Orwell's perceptive portrayal of the alienation and loneliness of poverty, and from Rosemary's tender response to Gordon's mean misery."' (Wiki) ***First printing of the first paperback edition of George Orwell's classic pre-war work: "Keep the Aspidistra Flying", in very good original condition - despite the aforementioned flaws. ***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.
