Inscribed by Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway. Across the River and Into the Trees. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1950.First edition. Inscribed by Hemingway on the front free endpaper. Octavo. 308 pages.
Publisher's black cloth with gold stamping on the front and spine. Spine is faded with the gold stamping rubbed off. Boards are rubbed and edge worn with the cloth worn through on all four corners. The front pastedown has large tape pulls running both the vertical and horizontal lengths of the board. Endpapers show some minor darkening. Jacket is the correct first issue, with yellow on the spine. It shows some edge wear with several small chips and tears, primarily at spine ends and corners. Housed in a custom slipcase. A very good copy.
A later novel placed in Venice shortly after the Second World War. It was not favored by critics, possibly because it shows a romantic side of Hemingway that was not typically seen. A scarce title to find signed.
