Condition

Publisher's original sea-blue cloth binding with silver lettering to spine and Hemingway's signature blind-stamped on the front board. Lightest wear and tanning to extremities and spine. Binding nice and square with joints and hinges intact. Light mark to fore edge and pages 48-49. Otherwise a very neat, smart-looking example with fine crisp, clean pages that are only lightly toned.

In an overall clean, albeit toned and and sporadically marked, dust wrapper, with nibbling to extremities and a few small repairs done on the inside with archival-grade tape. Now protected in a new, clear sleeve or archival quality.
