Ernest Hemingway - The Old Man and the Sea

New York: Scribners, 1952. Special Students Edition. Hardcover. 12mo. Two-tone blue cloth binding with gilt lettering and ornamentation. 127 pp. Very good condition. Former owner's name in ink on front free endpaper. No other markings. Dust jacket has a scotch-tape shadow near the upper front forecorner and something of a ruddy toning gradient intruding upon the very outer margin; it is in other respects almost exquisite, however, its iridescent cobalt hues brimming forth with the urgent magnificence of the Caribbean itself. (You don't have to be a student to buy this book).
