1938124238Cleveland: The J. B. Savage Company 1938. First edition first issue of Hemingway's commentary for the classic 1937 Joris Ivens film depicting the horrors of the Spanish Civil War; one of between 50 and 100 copies issued with the pictorial F.A.I. banner endpapers. Octavo original tan cloth printed in black and orange illustrated by Frederick K. Russell. One of 1000 numbered copies this is copy number 29. Introduction by Jasper Wood. In near fine condition. An exceptional example. While in Spain covering the Spanish Civil War for the North American Newspaper Alliance Hemingway agreed to take part in the funding of a to raise money for the Loyalist Republican cause in the war in collaboration with several other literary figures including John Dos Passos Lillian Hellman Archibald MacLeish and. Dorothy Parker. The resulting film The Spanish Earth was directed by Joris Ivens based upon commentary by Hemingway and Dos Passos and narrated by Orson Welles. Cleveland Heights High School student Jasper Wood acquired the rights to publish 1000 copies of Hemingway's commentary for the film in 1938. Upon seeing the first issue of the book from the press Hemingway wired Wood objecting to Wood's introduction because it gave him credit for the film which he felt belonged to Ivens and photographer John Ferno. He also objected to the large banner of the anarchist group F.A.I. Federacion Anarquista Iberica on the endpapers. A second issue was then bound with plain tan endpapers and a statement from Wood on the rear pastedown referring to Hemingway's objections and noting: "Hemingway insisted that his share of the profits for this text be paid directly to Almuth Heulbrun the widow of Dr. Werner Heilbrun who was killed in action in Spain." "In a letter to the bibliographer Jasper Wood estimated that there were between 50 and 100 copies of the first issue" Hanneman A15a. The J. B. Savage Company hardcover books

The Old Man and the Sea. Advance Galley Proofs- Life Magazine Publication

19528678Chicago. Life Magazine. August 1952. Galley Proofs are imprinted in black ink upon 9.0" x 30.0" sheets. A stamp in blue ink stating "ADVANCE GALLEY PROOFS" appears at top of title sheet. Further blue stamp stating "Advance Galley Proofs For Your Personal Reading Only. LIFE Publication Date Sept.1". Accompanying letter is typed upon Life advertising department letterhead sheet 7.0" x 11.0" and is dated August 19 1952. Signed in ink by C.W. Hanson. Original advance Galley Proofs prepared by Life Magazine for its special publication of the novel in its September 1 1952 issue. The Life publication was the 1st appearance of Hemingway's novel preceeding the Scribners book publication of September 8 1952. The September 1 issue of Life was solely devoted to the novel which was accompanied by photographs by Alfred Eisenstadt. The issue sold in excess of five million copies. A letter from Life Magazine Chicago Advertising Manager C.W. Hanson to an unidentified recipient accompanies these proofs and explains in detail the Magazine's motivation for publication of Hemingway's work. e.g. "Our editors were so impressed with this newest bit of Hemingway- actually they think its "one of the greatest stories of our time"- that they have decided to publish all 30000 words of it in the September 1st issue of LIFE." . "Here's a galley proof of The Old Man of the Sea so that you can come on the story with the same sense of discovery of interest and greatness that the editors recognize. I hope you enjoy it." The letter contains further interesting comments. Due to the nature and quality of paper in galley production these tri-folded sheets are extremely brittle and present chipping to top and side edges- not intruding upon text. Several short starts at folds may be seen. The title page sheet has severely split at both folds and has been reattached with adhesive tape- not affecting title text. This same condition is more dramatically evidenced on the final sheet with a hole intruding upon the middle of 4 lines of text. Life Magazine. unknown books
