Housed in collector’s clamshell box. 

One of the few science fiction novels of the 1930s that was considered a major work by the critics.

Alongside Orwell’s 1984, Brave New World stands out as one of the classic dystopian novels of the 20th century. For collectors, it represents one of the most important first editions of the 20th century, both for its literary impact and its scarcity in original dust jacket – depicting a futuristic, geometric design and is one of the most recognisable (and valuable) jackets in modern literature.
