A very good second impression, published in the same month (June, 1936) as the very rare first impression, which was published in an edition of only 2,000 copies. In the extraordinarily rare dust jacket, in the same format as the first edition jacket, but with quotes from early reviews and 2nd Edition stated on the front of the jacket. Some repairs to jacket. Housed in a custom-made collector's cloth clamshell case. Second edition, same month as very rare first edition.

Coming Up for Air, by George Orwell, is a novel that intertwines themes of personal nostalgia, social critique, and the dread of approaching war. The story follows George Bowling, an insurance salesman who experiences a mid-life crisis and decides to revisit his childhood home—a journey that leads him to realize how much the world has changed around him, and to reflect on what has been lost in modern life.
