Description: “Living was a hawk in the sky. Living was an earthen jar of water in the dust of the threshing with the grain flailed out and the chaff blowing. Living was a horse between your legs and a carbine under one leg and a hill and a valley and a stream with trees along it and the far side of the valley and the hills beyond.” Here we offer a TRUE first edition of the classic, canonical US novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway, published by Charles Scribners' Sons in 1940. Copyright page has necessary first edition point of "A" beneath copyright. The book comes wrapped in the highest quality facsimile of the first edition dust jacket you can only get here, digitally remastered and printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers. Also included is a modern reprinting of the original "New Yorker" review of the novel from the October 26, 1940 issue.Easily-soiled buckram boards have typical staining, soiling, and rubbed titles (please see pics); intact endpapers are uninscribed and lightly wrinkled. Binding is very tight and square, text is very clean, bright, and crisp. Dust jacket comes sleeved in ph-neutral Mylar and ready to slip into your collection. 471 pages. The book measures approximately 8.5 x 6-inches. This remarkably well-preserved classic first will make a marvelous addition to your collection or a very thoughtful gift.This title was deemed "unmailable" by the US Postal Service in 1940, and was banned in Turkey.
