First edition · In dust jacket
New York: Charles Scribner s Sons, 1940. This is a Very Good (Minus) copy of one of the most celebrated novels of the Twentieth Century. Tan cloth binding with titling inred and black on the spine; Hemingway facsimile signature on the front cover. Clean text; 471 pages. Scribner A on the copyright page. Bookplate on front paste-down. Mild bumps; spine lettering rubbed. This is a sound copy but the binding is certainly a bit on the grubby side, lacking wear but with more than usual soiling; no doubt due to storage. The dustjacket is also Very Good (Minus). It is complete and unclipped ($2.75 on flap). Second issue - has Photograph by Arnold on rear panel. Shows edgewear and wrinkling. Chipping at foot of spine and a quarter-inch chip across the top. Certainly not a primo copy, but still looks nice on the shelf! In an archival plastic protector.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good (Minus)/Very Good (Minus). 8vo - over 7 - 9 tall.
