For Sale: Ultra-Rare Unfilmed "A Clockwork Orange" Screenplay by Anthony Burgess Himself!

I'm selling an extremely rare reproduction of executive producer Si Litvinoff's personal copy of Anthony Burgess's unfilmed screenplay of "A Clockwork Orange." This is not Stanley Kubrick's screenplay that was shot, or Terry Southern's earlier script, but one by Burgess himself. It cleaves much closer to Burgess's novel and has a wildly different opening, among countless other differences. Two years ago, the Anthony Burgess Foundation told me that the only copies of this script that they know of are in their collection and in the Kubrick Archives. I sold Litvinoff's original copy of this script a while back and it is currently up for sale by a European bookseller for 15,000 Euros.
