[Rarebooks] FS: BOXING IN ART AND LITERATURE Inscribed by Ernest Hemingway to his friend, boxing coach, and pallbearer

[Charles Agvent]

(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 personal trainer and 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 a specially 
made clamshell box. (#013205)        $20,000.00
