HEMINGWAY, Ernest. [HANDMADE BINDINGS] Green Hills of Africa. Jonathan Cape, London, 1936.

Price: US$750.00 + shipping

Condition: Fine

Description: Octavo, 284pp., illustrated. A delightfully unique copy of this UK edition of Hemingway's great memoir of hunting big game in Africa. Bound in tan rough-grained canvas cloth, with handmade cut-out label depicting the head of a kudu (much like the one which appears in print opposite the title page), and Hemingway's name on a black label, printed in green. The binder has very ably inserted the front and rear panels and flaps of the dust jacket (also a stated third impression, matching the book) before and after the text, and the top is silvered. The jacket has been trimmed slightly to fit within the book, and it's possible that the page block was also slightly trimmed. The binding is rather plain, but highly evocative of its subject; befitting Heminway's style. The contents are extremely fresh and clean; a fine example. The UK edition of "Green Hills of Africa" is quite uncommon; later reprints from 1944 and 1954 are much easier to obtain than any copies printed the first year of publication. A charming, unique copy at home in any Hemingway collection.
