It's called 1984 on some of its book covers. Perhaps, the title has been changed since its first publication on subsequent editions.

The Kindle edition's cover:

http://www.amazon.com/1984-ebook/dp/...6478807&sr=1-1

Edit: The US edition printed in 1950 has 1984. Maybe the title was changed for US market.
