Two early unsigned editions of A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess:

A new American first edition, hardcover with dust jacket, published by W. W. Norton & Company in 1967, 6 x 8.75, 192 pages, which includes a new introduction by Burgess entitled “A Clockwork Orange Resucked,” and the original last chapter that was included with the first British edition but omitted from the first American edition.
