308 pp. 8vo. publisher's blue-black buckram; a variant presentation binding, taller than the trade issue. No paper dust jacket was made for the presentation bindings. Preserved in a custom quarter morocco slipcase and chemise. First edition; Advance Issue; an association copy signed and inscribed by Ernest Hemingway: "To Adriana from her business partner with love - Hemingstein White Tower 1951" Small area of erasure on the title page, possibly by the recipient, including a tiny area of replaced paper; some foxing to endsheets; lower corners a little bumped; otherwise bright and tight. "Renata" in the novel was based on the recipient of this book, Adriana Ivancich, whom Hemingway had met in 1949 at a shooting party on the lower Tagliamento. There was certainly an immediate attraction on the part of the author, and he pursued the young girl, and tolerated her mother and brother who accompanied her on several visits with Hemingway to the Finca. Adriana, careful to protect her reputation, always maintained that their relationship as portrayed in the novel was fiction, while Hemingway tended to suggest the opposite. There seems to be no question that in Hemingway's mind, the novel and reality became mixed, and his attentions to the young girl were occasionally embarrassing to Adriana and the Hemingways' friends and, eventually, infuriating to Mary Hemingway.

This copy inscribed by Hemingway on the front endpaper "This book is the property of James Cowan--he is not responsible for it--nor did he buy it.

First edition, sole printing, review copy with the secretarial presentation inscription on the front free endpaper, "Compliments of the author", and the limitation page stamped "Review Copy" in purple underneath the printed notice that 170 copies were printed on Rives handmade paper. The fragile nature of this production means that copies in such well-preserved condition are seldom encountered. Grissom states there were an additional 130 "damaged" copies with the watermark discernible on the frontispiece that were consequentially given away as gifts or review copies. This copy is among the 170 "perfect" copies without the watermarked frontispiece, evidencing that the publishers took not only from damaged stock when sending copies out for review. Considered one of the most original short story collections in 20th-century literature, in our time established Hemingway as a writer of great promise. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote to Maxwell Perkins after reading the work, "this is to tell you about a young man named Ernest Hemmingway [sic]. its remarkable & I'd look him up right away. He's the real thing" (10 October 1924). Edmund Wilson's review shows that the essence of Hemingway was already acknowledged at this early stage. "His prose is of the first distinction, [demonstrating] a naiveté of language often passing into the colloquialism of the character dealt with, which serves actually to convey profound emotions and complex states of mind. It is a distinctively American development in prose. [Hemingway] is rather strikingly original" (The Dial, October 1924). The book was the final instalment in Ezra Pound's "The Inquest into the state of contemporary English prose" series. An American edition, published by Boni & Liveright as In Our Time, appeared the following year. Grissom A2.1.a; Hanneman 3a. Connolly, The Modern Movement 49. Tall octavo.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Ernest Hemingway (1925) 'In Our Time', US first edition, first printing, published by Boni and Liveright. Signed and inscribed on the ffep to Hemingway's cousin and friend Ruth Lowry: "From her official (KC Star) cousin, Ernest Hemingway." Housed in a full leather solander case for protection. Provenance: from the library of Hemingway's cousin Ruth White Lowry (1884-1974) by descent. The book has been in the collection of this branch of the Hemingway family since her passing. Ruth Lowry lived in Mission Hills, Kansas. Hemingway's second wife, Pauline, and he had decided to travel to Kansas City for the birth of their son, Patrick, and stayed at Lowry's house. More mutual visits over the years would follow. An axcellent family association copy. Condition: very good without the original dust jacket. Light shelf wear and rubbing as shown. Internally clean. At just 18 years old, Hemingway worked briefly as a cub reporter for The Kansas City Star from 1917 to 1918, covering crime, medical emergencies, and obituaries. During this time, he began to develop the concise, impactful writing style that would become his literary hallmark. He later credited the Star's style emphasizing brevity and claritas 'the best rules I ever learned for the business of writing'. In Our Time features two Kansas City-based vignettes, and the story "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen" is set in a Kansas City hospital. Landmark short stories included in this collection which are studied in school and universities for English degrees are Indian Camp; Big Two-Hearted River; and The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife. The short story collection is considered a masterpiece and instrumental for Hemingway's iceberg theory. This American first edition had a low print run of just 1,335 copies. The 16 short stories featured in the First American edition are interspersed with 16 inter-chapters or vignettes from the 1924 limited edition published in Paris. We have only seen three inscribed first editions of this title in the last twenty years on the market. Hemingway won the Pulitzer Prize for The Old Man and the Sea as well as the Nobel Prize in Literature for his entire oevre. First and Fine. Signed by Author(s).

First edition, sole printing, one of 300 copies of Hemingway's first book; a fragile rarity in stunning condition. "No other writer. stepped so suddenly into fame, or destroyed with such insouciance so many other writers or ways of writing or became such an immediate symbol of an age" (Connolly). Three Stories & Ten Poems was printed in Dijon by Maurice Darantiere, who printed Ulysses the year before, and was published by Robert McAlmon's firm. The work marks the first appearance in print of the three stories "Up in Michigan", "Out of Season", and "My Old Man", as well as the four poems "Oklahoma", "Captives", "Montparnasse", and "Along With Youth". The remaining six poems were first printed in the January 1923 issue of Poetry magazine, under the general title "Wanderings". The edition contains some of the earliest surviving writings by Hemingway, whose first wife Hadley Richardson lost a suitcase stuffed with his manuscripts in 1922. "No less concerned about this first publication than he was about his first child" (Mellow, p. 239), Hemingway was directly involved in the book's production and liaised with Gertrude Stein on the typographical cover design. Edmund Wilson's prescient review of the young Hemingway followed his second book, In Our Time (1924): "His prose is of the first distinction, [demonstrating] a naiveté of language often passing into the colloquialism of the character dealt with, which serves actually to convey profound emotions and complex states of mind. It is a distinctively American development in prose. [Hemingway] is rather strikingly original." Connolly 49; GRISSOM A.1.1.a; HANNEMAN A1a. James R. Mellow, Hemingway: A Life Without Consequences, 1992; Edmund Wilson, writing in The Dial, October 1924. Octavo. Original blue-grey wrappers, covers lettered in black, edges uncut. Housed in a custom blue cloth folding box. Light creasing and a couple of nicks, else fresh. A fine copy.

Etat : Near Fine. First Edition. First edition, copy number 23 of a limited 170 copies. 30 [1] pp. Bound in publisher's paper-covered boards with news-clipping design. Near Fine with light edge wear, light wear to spine ends with a closed tear roughly one-inch from the base (though suggesting no restoration), toning to spine and the usual browning to the endsheets. Housed in a custom cloth chemise case with morroco title label stamped in gilt. Hemingway's scarce second published book, and his first of short fiction. Though intended to be published in an edition of 300 copies, due to a printing error only 170 were released and originally sold through Sylvia Beach's literary juggernaut of a bookshop, Shakespeare & Company.

14 leaves (of which five have text on both sides). 11 x 8-1/2 inches, preserved in a custom folding box. Light dampstain to some leaves (not affecting legibility); edges of a few leaves chipped (not affecting text). With a copy of Arnold Samuelson's "With Hemingway: A Year in Key West and Cuba" (New York: Random House, [1984), detailing how Hemingway came to edit and revise this typescript.

Etat : Fine. First edition. Stunning copy of Hemingway's legendary first published book, and among the rarest of his first editions. The typography and design of Hemingway's first book reflected the new Modernist style for which Hemingway would become known: spare, balanced, striking. In this as in his prose, Hemingway was influenced by Gertrude Stein, who advised a careful pick of typeface for the titles listed on the front wrapper, "good and black, but not squatty like the others" (quoted in Grissom, 26). 3STP was issued by Robert McAlmon's formative Modernist press, Contact, one of the original loci of the burgeoning movement. McAlmon also brought out numerous other classic expatriate texts, including Stein's epic monument THE MAKING OF THE AMERICANS, William Carlos Williams's SPRING AND ALL, Gertrude Beasley's cult feminist memoir MY FIRST THIRTY YEARS, Bryher's pioneering autobiographical lesbian novel TWO SELVES, and H.D.'s PALIMPSEST though it was this Hemingway book that would ultimately become the most famous of all its publications. Poorly constructed and issued in an edition of only 300 copies, 3STP has become one of the most sought rarities of the 20th century and a cornerstone for any collection that documents the rise of Modernism. This copy is among the very best we've seen. 7'' x 4.75''. Original blue printed wrappers, uncut and partially unopened. [8], 58, [2] pages. Housed in custom blue cloth slipcase and chemise. Slight lean, with a couple small creases and minimal wear to spine. Else clean, fresh, and beautifully intact.

First Edition. One of 300 copies. Slim octavo (18cm); original bluish-grey wrappers, titled in black on front cover; [x],58,[59-64]pp. The tiny, contemporary rubber-stamped word "FRANCE" appears at lower margin of p.[60]. Some very subtle tanning to the text edges, else a fresh, Fine copy, the blue-grey wrappers unfaded and retaining their original color. Lacking the rare glassine dustjacket. Housed in a custom half-morocco clamshell case and chemise. The Nobel Prize-winning author's first book, published in a tiny run by Robert McAlmon's Contact Publishing Co. in Paris. The three stories "Up in Michigan," "Out of Season," and "My Old Man" appear here for the first time, along with four of the ten poems. The remaining six first appeared in the January, 1923 issue of Poetry. One of the great literary debuts in 20th century literature, and one that turns up frequently enough, though usually worn, torn, soiled, and foxed seldom in anything approaching pristine condition. Grissom A.1.1.a; Hanneman A1.a.

Etat : Near Fine. First Edition. First edition, first and only printing of Ernest Hemingway's legendary first published book. [viii], 58, [2] pp. Bound in publisher's original gray wraps lettered in black, lacking the scarce glassine wraps. Near Fine with light wear and toning to the spine, faint soiling to wraps. A lovely copy, housed in a custom cloth chemise case. A momentous debut and a turning point in world literature. One of only 300 copies, published by expat Robert McAlmon at Contact Publishing Co. in Paris in the summer of 1923. Four of the poems and all three of the stories made their print debut here. It was originally set to be Hemingway's sophomore effort but William Bird at Three Mountains Press dragged his heels in publishing the limited edition of In Our Time, so this came out first. Few examples of Hemingway's early work remain as his suitcase with manuscripts was stolen from a Paris train station in December 1922. Hanneman A1.

HEMINGWAY, Ernest. Typed letter twice signed "Papa" to Peter Viertel. Finca Vigia, Cuba, 29 September 1949. Quarto, two sheets of Hemingway's "Finca Vigia, San Francisco de Paula, Cuba" stationery, each leaf measuring 8-1/2 inches by 11 inches, typed in black ink, single-spaced, on one side of each leaf for two full pages of typed text, heavily annotated in pen by Hemingway. $42,000.Extraordinary typed and heavily annotated letter from Hemingway in Cuba to friend and fellow author and screenwriter Peter Viertel in Malibu, California, a long, lively letter discussing his writing progress, a proposed trip, hunting and shooting pigeons, drinking, baseball and a new whore in town, with over 150 words of additional notes written in the margins and on the verso of the second page in blue ink by Hemingway. Twice signed as 'Papa.'.The letter, on Hemingway's Finca Vigia stationery, addressed to Peter Viertel in Malibu, CA, reads in full [with Hemingway's manuscript annotations in brackets and italics]:[Poor John, the ex-light weight champion, with his bag of feathers. I'll be god-damned. Papa.]Dear Peter: Am awfully sorry to be answering your letter of 31 August now. I thought I had done it but have been working so very hard that it got mixed in with other stuff that I put away in the "Must Be Answered at Once". [That is no damn excuse. Have been jamming like in a six day bike race.]It would be wonderful if you and Jige could go across at the same time as we do. We will be leaving on the ILE DE FRANCE from New York on 1 November. Please don't tell this to anyone as I want to get in and out o town quiet. Will be pooped from working on book and I want to see the town anyway without all that crap. Have done over 15,000 words snice I got your letter. Been going like I was possessed by the devil and figure, with luck, to finish this book now in three weeks. Then we don't have to worry about nothing. Please keep security on this, too.Don't worry about the Finca being empty. It would have been wonderful to have you guys out here as I think it is a good place to live and to work. But a Hell of a nice girl who works in the Embassy will stay out here while we are gone and that we will not have to worry. I only hate to have it empty when you keep on the big staff of servants who you cannot let go without giving them three months' pay. We plan to be in Europe for some six weeks to two months. Will be in Paris for a little while and then go down to Venice. This is going to be the last year of the great shoot there as the duck marshes are going to be drained for some agrarian reform project. If you wanted to come down there for a little while we could get in a couple of damned good shoots. Fifty to sixty high flying ducks in a day is about what you'd get in a season in the states. They have mallards, pintail, widgeon, teal, redheads and lots of unknown ducks; all coming down from behind the Iron Curtain and plenty fat. I think they must fly over the Iron Curtain at night.Everything goes good down here. Mary is up in Chicago checking on her folks who are quite old and she should pay them a visit. Haven't heard from her yet about how they are because she figures that we are at sea. [(they are ok but her mother too bored with death coming on and too fragile to travel.)] But we had to put back in after six days out because there are about five tropical disturbances forming and kicking around. In the bad weather we stayed at Puerto Escondido, you remember the place where I shot that iguana, and I wrote 5,000 some words while we were holed up. Have been having awfully good luck with it and it goes as fast as when I wrote THE SUN ALSO RISES in six weeks and the day I wrote THE KILLERS in Madrid one morning when it snowed and a story called TEN INDIANS in the afternoon and then couldn't cool out and wrote TODAY IS FRIDAY in the evening. After that got drunk. The only trouble writing alone here is like pitching with nobody in the stands or making a Hell of a fight to absolutely empty seats. [I wonder why this girl capitalizes Hell. Must be early training.] Have been pitching one hit and no hit ball and am pitching double headers like Ed Walsh. He was the only man they said who could ever strut while sitting down but he won 40 ball games in one year for a team that never gave him more than one or two runs. I'm going awfully good. Wish the Hell you and Jige were here to read it and tell me whether it's as good as it feels. When you're half a hundred years old you ought to be able to tell pretty well, though, unless you've gone into your second childhood. Hope this hasn't happened. Would like to live to be a smart and mean old man. Removed. And just lay back and let the bastards lead. Have scrapped about 100,000 words. After all, the test of whether a book is any good is how much good stuff you can remove from it. This also confidential.John's evening life with his hound sounds very interesting. What happens here is that I wake up around 3 or 4 in the morning and go to work and Blackie wakes up very reluctantly because he certainly loves his sleep, and then lies down beside where I am working and keeps his eyes open all the time. He had a terrible nervous crisis when we made him retrieve a couple of pigeons at the club. He doesn't believe in hurting anything nor in anything hurting him. [Have got him threw [sic] it and he retrieved 17 then 22 and yest 40. I killed 23 x 25 from 30 meters.] All cats are fine and so are all the dogs. Please give my best to Eddie Rolfe and tell him I am writing him. Have been terribly remiss on letters on account of working so hard. When you finish working you try to get some exercise so as to be able to sleep a little so you can work the next day. I can always work but I know you have to feed the horse and let him rest sometimes.I am shooting good and have been practicing shooting pigeons from 30 meters so as to be able to go up to the big shoot in Kansas City next March if my form justifies.

Second English edition, first printing, second issue; First illustrated edition. Illustrated by C.F. Tunnicliffe and Raymond Sheppard. 8vo. A wonderful association copy of The Old Man and the Sea, inscribed by Hemingway on the half title to film director and producer Fred Zinnemann: "Dear Freddy: Better luck if there is a place where we get better luck, Papa" Laid in are two photographs of Ernest and Mary Hemingway at a table with Fred Zinnemann, who had made an unofficial trip to Cuba in October 1955 to discuss the project with Hemingway before being brought on as director. Additionally laid in is a typed sheet with the heading: "December 20th, 1955 / "Old Man of the Sea" / Lima - Peru" containing notes on prices, accommodations, restaurants, etc. associated with filming on location in Peru." There is also a pictorial postcard from a group fishing expedition in Peru for capturing footage for the Old Man and the Sea film, that includes Hemingway and Mary, as well as cinematographer Hans Koenekamp. They spent April in Cabo Blanco, Peru, fishing every day and getting footage of Marlins for the film. The card's typed message is addressed to film producer Norman Cook and Fred Zinneman at the Hotel Rosita De Hornedo in Havana, Cuba, from Joe Barry, who's name appears in minor film roles throughout the period, as well as in the Leland Hayward archive at the NYPL, and was likely working as a production assistant on this shoot. Sent on May 1, 1956, he writes about the photo on the verso: "This is the one we got but he did not give us any action, 730 lbs. 13 Ft 5 In. long. Too bad, he might have been the one, it is one foot longer then [sic.] the biggest one caught here but not as heavy. We are still trying and hope we get what we came here for. My best wishes to you both and hope to see you soon." Leland Hayward, who had persuaded Life magazine to serialize the novel, acquired the rights to The Old Man and the Sea in 1953, Hemingway was brought in to work on the script eventually handled by Peter Viertel and supervise the fishing scenes. Fred Zinneman's first film The Wave (1936) shot on location in Mexico with non-professional actors was one of the earliest examples of a social realist film. He had recent success with the films High Noon, From Here to Eternity, and Oklahoma! Zinneman was unhappy with the difficulty in capturing marlin and shark activity suitable for use in the film, and after a mechanical marlin sank in the waters off of Cuba, Zinneman walked away, saying afterwards: "It made little sense to proceed with a robot pretending to be a fish in a studio tank pretending to be the Gulf Stream with an actor pretending to be a fisherman." His son, Tim, gives a more colorful version of his parting from the film: "My father had been directing the movie of 'Old Man and the Sea' but had a series of fights with Spencer Tracy and quit in the middle of shooting. Hemingway took my father's side and gave him the book with the 'better luck next time'" message. They remained good friends until Hemingway's death.Hemingway,Tracy and Leland Hayward were the producers of the film. Tracy would get drunk and habitually show up five or more hours late on the set (at sea). My father was furious and quit. Hemingway backed up my father and went to see Hayward at his hotel in Havana got into an argument with him and punched him out." A letter sent to Zinneman by Hemingway in August 1956, after the project has already wrapped, reads "Will not write any atrociy stories about the picture. You must be as sick of them as I am," and congratulates Zinneman on passing up an offer to work on a film version of The Sun Also Rises (Christies, 2005). Finally, laid into the book is a Christmas card to Zinnemann's family written by Mary Hemingway, and sent during the Hemingways' Eurropean trip at the end of 1956: "Dear Z's we really ought to be together in this fine town best to have all three of you - Mary (Hemingway) (Paris)" Beneath Mary's inscription, Hemingway writes: "Love Papa. Hope things go well." A lovely association between Hemingway and someone he saw as a close friend until the end of his life.

FIRST EDITION, SECOND PRINTING, SIGNED PRESENTATION COPY OF HEMINGWAY'S FIRST BOOK OF STORIES OTHER THAN THE WORK WHICH INCLUDED TEN POEMS. This was the author's first book published in the U.S., only his second published book and the first that was published for the general trade audience.

It was influenced, as was THREE STORIES AND TEN POEMS (1923) by Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein, while spokespersons for the "Lost Generation. There is excellent provenance associated with this copy which was inscribed and presented to Major General Milton Foreman who was a hero in the Spanish-American War, the Mexican Border Service Campaign and World War I. It is pprobable that Hemingway met him during the First World War. 'In the Spanish-American War, he enlisted in the Army as a private in Troop C, First Calvary, on December 5, 1895. He worked his way up the ranks until he was a captain. In the Mexican Border Service, he was a colonel commanding the First Calvary Division of the Illinois National Guard Colonel Milton J. Foreman, of the Illinois National Guard, received the Distinguished Service Cross for bravery in World War I while serving in France. When his unit came under heavy artillery and machine gun fire, he crept through the German gunfire, laying out telephone wire so that he could tell his artillery where the enemy had its gun positions. Foreman found the enemy gun positions and directed his artillery to lay down a barrage of shells to destroy them. General Foreman was awarded for bravery the Distinguished Service Cross, the Distinguished Service Medal, Silver Star Citations, French Legion of Honor and the Belgian Order of the Crown. During World War II, Foreman was honored when a merchant liberty ship was named the S.S. Foreman. When World War I ended, he was discharged and appointed a colonel in the Illinois National Guard. He was promoted to brigadier general on June 23, 1920 and major general on March 19, 1921. Upon Foreman's retirement, in 1931, he was promoted to Lieutenant General. General Foreman was one of the organizers of the American Legion and he was elected chairman of its executive committee at the Paris Caucus, at which he represented Illinois. During the Legion's third national convention in 1921, he was designated as a past national commander by resolution. Foreman was born on January 26, 1863, in Chicago, Illinois. He was educated here and eventually became an attorney, being admitted to the bar in 1899. He served as a member of the Chicago City Council from 1899 to 1911. He was very active in politics and civic affairs. Foreman had the confidence of presidents, cabinet members, senators, governors and mayors. He was a bachelor and a collector of rare books. He died on October 18, 1935' see Seymour "Sy" Brody.
