Almost a month later, I'm still looking
There can't be anything rare about it. I think that particular series circulated around the 1990s. Copies of every other Orwell title of that cover series were very easy to find.
Onward, I guess.

Re: What music do you listen to when you write?
Brian Eno's Music For Airports provides just enough distraction to keep the mind from wandering and not enough distraction to prevent the brain from thinking. I've listened to it countless time, sometimes just for pure relaxation.
