Condition: Very Good
Description: Second edition. Light stain on rear board, a very good or better without dustwrapper. The author's first novel, his second book published in America, and the first published by Scribner's. Written by Hemingway as a pastiche of the work of Sherwood Anderson. Horace Liveright, who published both authors, declined to publish this book, which he justly supposed would be an insult to Anderson, his best-selling author. This circumstance gave Hemingway the convenient excuse he needed to break his contract with Liveright, so that he could sign with Scribner's, and avail himself of the services of their editor Maxwell Perkins.
