About this Item
** RARE ** EASTON PRESS ** AS NEW ** GIFT QUALITY ** UNREAD AND UNMARKED ** FULL LEATHER BINDING ** NOT A LIBRARY BOOK ** CLEAN AND STAIN-FREE ** ILLUSTRATED ** WITH BLANK, UNUSED EASTON BOOKPLATE LAID IN ** Published by The Easton Press, copyright 1999, with 319 pages, thick large octavo (8vo). With illustrations by Richard Sparks. This is a flawless, unread copy. The book was purchased new by its original owner, placed on a shelf, and never read. NOTE: Easton published this book with 2 different bindings; one has elaborate gilt decorating the front pictorial and lettering, and much gilt embossing on the spine. That version was issued as part of Easton's 20 volume Hemingway set. The version we have was issued to members as a stand-alone volume, and was much more restrained and subtle in the use of gilt. Our version is much harder to find. The book has a full bonded leather binding, all exterior page edges are gilt, 4 raised bands on the spine, thick silk moire endpapers, attached silk ribbon bookmark. Printed on high-grade, archival paper. The book is clean, bright, and stain-free, square and straight, firm and tight in its binding, no pages loose, missing, folded, or torn. The hinges are sound and undamaged, the corners are sharp and unbumped. Internally, the pages are like new, all text sharp and legible, no writing, underlining, highlighting, or other such markings in the book. Remarkable, virtually brand new copy of this scarce book.
