with the dustjacket by 'Neely'
This is a tale of a Florida Straits boat captain trying to survive the economic devastation of the Great Depression, by funnelling rum and revolutionaries to Havana. Not only did Hemingway's story increase tourism to Key West and Cuba, but it inspired at least three movie adaptations, including the famous 1944 version starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.First edition, first printing (with 'A' on the copyright page); 8vo; ownership initials to front free endpaper, bookseller's ticket to rear pastedown; original black cloth, gilt lettering to upper cover, titles to spine gilt on a green ground, a couple of trivial marks to cloth, with the price-clipped dustjacket designed by 'Neely', extremities rubbed and nicked with associated creasing, loss to head and foot of spine panel; a very good copy in the slightly worn dustjacket.
