THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA

By

ERNEST HEMINGWAY

Published by Jonathan Cape (London) in 1952. First UK edition, first printing.

Original blue cloth covered boards stamped in red to front and spine. 127 pages. In original dust jacket.

Boards are in very good condition. Fading to spine tips and part of top edge. A small ink mark to head of spine at rear joint.

Internally there is a previous owner's name to the front endpaper. Otherwise pages are very clean and in excellent condition throughout. No other inscriptions, marks or blemishes.

The dust jacket is price-clipped. A large piece missing from the rear panel. Chipping/wear to spine tips and corners. An ink mark to the head of the spine. Fading to spine. Rubbing to folds. The jacket is now protected in a removable plastic sleeve (not shown in the photos).

Despite the loss to the jacket, still a nice copy of the first UK edition.
