Paris: Crosby Continental Editions, 1932. First Continental Edition; large paper-issue of an unspecified and unknown limitation (this is copy #14). Original wrappers and contemporary glassine (both chipped); some foxing; very good in a custom cloth slipcase with chemise. Inscribed to Sylvia Beach by the author on the front free endpaper, “To Sylvia, this world wide masterpiece in English (see cover) with love - Ernest Hemingway.” The inscription quotes the front cover blurb. An exceptional association: Beach, the publisher of Ulysses and the owner of Shakespeare & Co., was a close friend of the author as well as distributor of his second book, in our time.
