Charles Scribner's Sons, New York

FAREWELL TO ARMS, published in 1929 -- the same year as the trade first edition -- 500 copies out of 510 for sale; each numbered and signed by Ernest Hemingway on a special limited edition page.

This original copy, #279, is being offered with the original publisher's slipcase (complete) and glassine dust jacket.

Book is in fine condition; has not been read; and, still has uncut pages.  Spine is strong and unbroken.

Basically, this book appears to have been purchased in 1929 and then placed in a dark place and never opened, except to review the Hemingway signature.  Pages do occasionally show some very faint and sparse foxing, as does the white spine.

Original Scribner's (publisher's) slipcase does show some wear, most notably on bottom panel where some spots of paper are missing.  Slipcase has been slightly dented on right side, resulting in paper showing some crinkling.  Slipcase has been reinforced at some joints, although this is only barely perceptible.

Price: $20,000.00
