HEMINGWAY, Ernest.
Three Stories & Ten Poems.
First edition, sole printing. Apparently one of 300 copies. The author's first book. A signed presentation copy inscribed on the second blank leaf, "To Don Marquis from Ernest Hemingway". The recipient was the author and newspaper columnist best known for the creation of Archy the cockroach the reincarnation of a free verse poet. Marquis travelled to England and on to Paris in October 1923 the book had been published sometime that summer.
Octavo. Original blue/grey wrappers printed in black. Housed in a black quarter morocco solander box made by The Chelsea Bindery. Contents very lightly toned, backstrip rubbed and with some signs of tape removed from the backstrip but a very good copy.
