Endpapers browned and with a small area of surface abrasion to the title-page verso.

Most selections are accompanied by a brief self-penned biography, bibliography and photograph, many with a facsimile signature (Hemingway manages to sum up his life in five words and six numbers, Ezra Pound's effort is somehow even better ("I can't bloody well be bothered to write my own biography . ").. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Good
