Notes from a Sea Diary: Hemingway All the Way

by ALGREN, Nelson

$250 · Offered by Biblio

First edition

New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1965. Paperback. 4to. Red cloth spine and stiff buff printed wrappers. (Ca. 254pp, rectos only). Near fine. Very faintest of wear to outer wrappers (only). Highly unusual bound galleys of Algren's writings about Ernest Hemingway -- and the only such pre-publication copy this bibliopole has ever encountered. Inner ffront wrapper bears author's personal bookplate -- a 4¼" X 5½" facsimile of his handwritten "Ex Libris / [cat sketch] / Nelson Algren." Very scarce. See Bruccoli A 11.1.
