FIRST EDITION, published when Hemingway was in his early thirties and living in Key West. The book "represents the author at his best, first as a writer and second as someone who was never satisfied with knowing only a little about his subject but who always dug deeply until he had both the essence and the smallest details" (Charles M. Oliver, Ernest Hemingway A to Z. New York, 1999, p. 74). Hanneman A10a.
