![]() ![]() We locate one similarly described example in ABPC, that one of twenty morocco bound copies by Whitman Bennett, the description of which posited that it might be an advance copy (that sold Baltimore, 18 June 2007, lot 205, $575). This variant is not in Hanneman and has proven elusive in research. Ownership signature to front blank, creases and chips to jacket extremities with small loss to rear panel. Publisher's blue cloth with a very faint impression of Hemingway's facsimile signature to upper cover, in first issue dust jacket with $3.00 price and blue tint to rear panel and no mention of the Pulitzer prize, the text of the inside panels printed in black (rather than brown as usual). ![]() ![]() An unrecorded variant issue of the first edition without a date on the title page, the copyright leaf with the author's name misspelled "HEMINWAY" and the Scribner's seal present not the "A". Lot 85 HEMINGWAY, ERNEST The Old Man and the Sea. ![]()
