First edition of Hemingway’s famed anthology which includes Up in Michigan, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, and The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber. Octavo, original publisher's cloth. Presentation copy, warmly inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "Dear Kit Bryan: Fortunately I never saw it, But I wish we could have had the evening together! Ernest Hemingway." Hemingway' inscription is below another inscription in a different hand but likely to the same recipient, "To get the taste out of your mouth. C.S. Ce Avril 1940." Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Second state. Housed in a custom felt-lined clamshell box. An exceptional inscription.
