HEMINGWAY,  Ernest.  A  FAREWELL   TO  ARMS.  New  York:  Charles
Scribner's  Sons 1929. First Edition. Original vellum spine and  green
boards  with  vellum  tips.  Copy #154 of 510 SIGNED  by  the  author,
Hemingway's  only  signed  and  limited edition.  Some  pages  roughly
opened  resulting  in  short tears or small chips at the top  edge  or
outside  margin.  On two pages the chips are deep enough to  touch  or
come  near  to the running head, but usually they are very minor.  The
vellum  spine  is just a little darkened with a short tear to the  top
of  the  spine and minor rubbing to the black leather label.  Slipcase
lacking.  Collector's bovine bookplate on front pastedown and his neat
signature  dated 1929 on the top of the front free endpaper. Very Good
copy of a desirable book.                                   $11,500.00
