Old Tappan, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Scribner, 1999. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. This blend of autobiography and fiction offers rare insights into the life of this legendary American writer. Edited with an introduction by Patrick Hemingway. First printing with correct full number line sequence. This is a clean, apparently unread copy with no writing, marks, underlining, or bookplates. No remainder marks. Not an ex-library copy. Spine is tight and crisp. Corners are square, and the boards are clean, flat and true, if a bit bumped along the spine extremes. Dust jacket is not price-clipped and shows minimal edge wear/scuffing, though there is a 1/2" scrape along the foreedge of the back cover. This collectible, near fine/near fine, first edition/first printing copy is protected with an archival mylar dust jacket cover. This is a great addition to any Hemingway enthusiast's library! Satisfaction guaranteed!
