About This Item
Charles Scribner's Sons, 1926. First Edition. Hardcover. Rebound/No Jacket. First issue, first state with "stoppped" on line 26, page 181. Bound in dark green morocco, with 5 raised bands on the spine, and incised gilt lettering and borders. Deckled fore-edges, top edges gilt. A portion of the original cloth and paper spine and front panel labels are bound in at the rear of the volume. Heavy patterned endpapers. This volume has "Charles Scribner Copy" written on the second endpaper (we cannot verify this). The leather has a few areas of light rubbing and there is occasional light foxing, although on pages 226-227 it is more pronounced. Still this is a lovely, well preserved copy in near fine condition.
Synopsis
Based on real events and acquaintances of Hemingway, Sun Also Rises is about American and English expats in Pamplona.

This was the one book I never read from EH. I have to say it is an outstanding achievement of the human experience. What a book! Finishing it gives you a feeling of what's real, eternal and why our lives are full of contradictions.

This book is a classic for any shelf. I recommend starting out with this story if you're not familiar with Hemingway's work.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
