The Sun Also Rises

Ernest Hemingway

Published by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1926

About this Item

The October 1926 correct 1st edition, 1st printing, with all of the required issue points in place (the misprint "stoppped" on pg. 181, line 26; "down-stairs" on pg. 169, last line; "Book Three" instead of the later-corrected "Book III"). A presentable, tight copy to boot. Solid and VG in its dark cloth, with light rubbing at the panels (including to the front panel's gilt title label) and mild darkening along the spine's gilt title label. Internally very clean, with no writing or markings to speak of, save for a charming vintage bookseller's tag (New York's "The Holliday Bookshop) inconspicuously on the bottom of the rear pastedown. And in a crisp, price-intact ($2.00), VG example of the stated March, 1927 7th printing (so stated on the spine!) of the famous Cleonike Damianakes-designed dustjacket, with mild darkening along the spine and a degree of light chipping at the spine ends (more along the spine crown, with 1" of loss, including to the word "Sun"). Still though, a sharp, well-preserved copy of arguably Hemingway's greatest achievement. In its original printing and including a scarce example of this early-state (7th printing), iconic dustjacket.
