Catalogue Note
AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE COPY IN JACKET OF HEMINGWAY'S SECOND COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES, containing all the themes he was to develop more fully in his later work.
Cohn identifies the use of different paper stocks for the first and second issue. This copy uses the heavier first issue stock. The first printing of the dust-jacket does not quote from reviews on the front and the front flap blurb contains two errors.
