HEMINGWAY, Ernest. A Moveable Feast. London: Jonathan Cape. 1964. 8vo. First British edition, first printing. Publisher’s grey cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the excellent wraparound dust jacket designed by Hans Tisdall. A near fine copy. The boards clean and bright, the binding tight and square, the contents clean and fine throughout despite a few faint spots to bottom- and top-edge, without inscriptions or stamps. The dust jacket Cape-cut at corners, unclipped (18s net) with a couple of very short closed tears and some mild spotting mostly to rear panel, and much lighter to front panel.
A sharp copy of Hem’s posthumously published Paris memoir, with the unmistakable wraparound jacket by the Cape stalwart. Many of his contemporaries appear, often fleetingly, such was Papa’s life—the Fitzgeralds, Gertrude Stein, Sylvia Beach, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, and many others.
