The George Orwell 1984 Game.

-Disclaimer- This is not a book review.

Instead, At the risk of confessing my lack of literary experience, I want to start by saying that I have never read the book, 1984, by George Orwell. I promise however that is in my agenda before I get to old to venture onto these pages.

I have always been fascinated by the amount of book cover designs that have been into circulation since the novels birth in 1949. Orwell, primarily known for two books, Animal farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty four (1949) has become one of the most prolific authors of the twentieth century.

But now back to the book designs. I remember sorting through my fiance's book collection to find a version of said book with a different cover than the one my father owned which I remember him reading while growing up. so I did a search. O.k. so it was not that extensive of a search but, I did Google quite a few key words and never came up with an exact amount of cover designs for the book. Nevertheless, I must know exactly how many have been in print.

I would like to do something different on this blog for today and play a little game with you. I ask the question; Can you tell me the exact number of book designs have been printed for George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four? If you know the answer, please comment back to this post. Also, please copy and paste the URL of the website where you found the answer. The winner will receive uh... hmm! Bragging rites? (Sorry Im a broke ho). Maybe I'll blog about you. Bonus points will be added if you can tell me the release date for each of the design prints.

Happy Hunting!
