A Moveable Feast
By Ernest Hemingway
 
First UK edition, first impression: London: Jonathan Cape, 1964.
 
Octavo. Original brown cloth, spine lettered in gilt with publisher’s device at foot. With the original pictorial dust jacket designed by Hans Tisdall, priced 18s. net to the front flap.
 
Binding clean and firm, the spine ends slightly pushed but otherwise an excellent example. Internally fresh, with mild age-toning to the edges of the text block; else near fine.
 
The dust jacket shows a few small nicks to the extremities and a couple of small chips; otherwise very good. The striking typographic design remains bright and well preserved. Price intact and unclipped.
 
Hemingway’s celebrated posthumous memoir of his early years in Paris during the 1920s, recalling his friendships with figures such as Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. First published three years after the author’s death, A Moveable Feast is widely regarded as one of the most evocative literary portraits of expatriate Paris and remains a desirable and popular late Hemingway first edition in the vividly designed Hans Tisdall jacket.
