Description
This is the First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. The book is Near Fine (with just a bit of bumping and tiny wear) in a Very Good+ dust jacket. The top edges of the pages have the expected age/dust darkening. The board corners are sharp with only a hint of wear. The handsome jacket has a few short tears and small corner chips and the inside face of the Jacket has some archival tape, apparently added for strength. The Jacket has some handling soiling and some stained spots. This anthology is dedicated to Ernest Hemenway (Ernest Hemingway) whose story " My Old Man" appears in the anthology. The story is "the first book published in the United States to contain work by Hemingway" according to Hanneman and is one of the two stories he had left after the valise containing all of his manuscripts was stolen at the Gare de Lyon in 1922. Hemingway wrote in A MOVABLE FEAST, page 73, that O'Brien had broken all the rules to take the story because it had never been published in a magazine and that, throughout the book (with but one exception) he had misspelled his name as "Hemenway". Other author's include Sherwood Anderson, Theodore Dreiser, Jean Toomer, and Edna Ferber.
