A Farewell to Arms. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1929
8vo. Publisher's black cloth, gilt labels to upper cover and spine, pictorial dust jacket (with "Katharine" on front flap), unclipped; upper cover very slightly dented, endpapers mildly toned, minimal loss and staining to extremities of dust jacket.
First edition of Hemingway's first best seller.
A Farewell to Arms was published on 27 September 1929 in a first printing of 31,050 copies, after serialization in Scribner's Magazine from May to October. Within four weeks sales climbed to 33,000 copies, and a month later, despite the stock market crash, they soared past 50,000.
This was the book that made Hemingway financially independent. Hemingway struggled with the ending; in the 2012 new edition of the work, 47 alternate endings were printed with it.
