(HEMINGWAY,  Ernest)  COX, William (editor). BOXING  IN  ART  AND
LITERATURE  Inscribed by Ernest Hemingway to his friend, boxing coach,
and  pallbearer.  New  York: Reynal & Hitchcock 1935.  First  Edition.
This  anthology,  featuring  one of Hemingway's  most  enduring  short
stories  ("Fifty  Grand"),  is INSCRIBED and SIGNED  by  Hemingway  to
George   Brown:  "For  George,  from   his  pal,  Ernie."  Brown   was
Hemingway's  dear  friend as well as his boxing coach. He served  as a
pallbearer  at Hemingway's funeral. As far as we can determine, he was
the  only  nonrelation  on an "Ernie" basis with  Hemingway.  Although
Hemingway  regularly  inscribed large numbers of his books (many  that
he  did NOT inscribe can be found on ebay), it is quite possible  that
this  is the only inscribed copy of this book. A wonderful and,  given
the  subject of the anthology, appropriate association copy. Near Fine
in specially made slipcase.                                 $20,000.00
