What Our Customers Say...

Description

Early Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

An early Grosset & Dunlap edition, published by arrangement with Charles Scribner's, who published the true first in the same year. The first copies of Grosset & Dunlap's edition carried Scribner's 'A' to the limitation page, however this later copy from the same year has 'TU' printed in its place.

Bound in the publisher's bright red cloth.

'To Have and Have Not' follows a fishing boat captain in Florida, written by Hemingway sporadically between 1936 and 1937, as he travelled back and forth from Spain during the Civil War.

In 1944 this novel was adapted into a film starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.

Pencil inscription of H. A. Mason, possibly that of lecturer and critic Harold A. Mason.

Condition

Bound in the publisher's red cloth. Externally, excellent, with minor bumping to the extremities and slight fading to the spine. One or two marks. Front hinge just a touch strained, but holding firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean.

Very Good Indeed
