Well, it's been a Barnes & Noble link that has been posted:

1984: Centennial Edition
George Orwell, Foreword by Thomas Pynchon
Paperback, May 2003
ISBN: 0452284236

>From the Publisher (Plume Books):
"Thought Police. Big Brother. Orwellian. These words have entered our
vocabulary because of George Orwell's classic dystopian novel, 1984. The
story of one man's nightmare odyssey as he pursues a forbidden love affair
through a world ruled by warring states and a power structure that controls
not only information but also individual thought and memory, 1984 is a
prophetic, haunting tale.
More relevant than ever before, 1984 exposes the worst crimes imaginable-the
destruction of truth, freedom, and individuality. With a new forward by
Thomas Pynchon."
