The Old Man and the Sea
By Ernest Hemingway
First UK edition, first impression. Originally published in the US a few months earlier in the same year. The novel received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and was an important factor in Hemingway being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.
Original blue cloth with lettering to spine in dark red and fish and fisherman motif in red to upper board. A fine and clean copy with a couple of small areas of rubbing to the bottom fore-edge of of lower board.
The original and unclipped dust jacket features the striking artwork of Hans Tisdall and is the first state without the reviews to verso. A hint of minor rubbing here and there to edges with a few nicks to edges of lower panel and an associated crease to top and bottom edges that are only visible on verso.
A superb, bright and near fine copy overall.

Planet Plane
John Wyndham, Modern First Editions, Science Fiction
Planet Plane
By John Beynon (John Wyndham)
First edition, first impression in the rare green first issue cloth, rather than the later yellow binding. Later re-published under the title 'Stowaway to Mars'. The author's second science fiction novel and third published novel overall, preceding those he wrote as 'John Wyndham', such as 'The Day of the Triffids', 'The Chrysalids' and 'The Midwich Cuckoos' that so dramatically influenced the genre.
Original green cloth. Gift inscription to front paste-down. Some spotting, primarily to preliminaries, edges and final leaves with far lighter and more isolated spotting to contents, else very good. Lacking dust jacket. A rare edition of one of the author's earliest works, seldom found in its first issue green binding.
