This anthology, featuring one of Hemingway's most enduring short stories ("Fifty Grand"), is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by Hemingway to George Brown: "For George, from his pal, Ernie." Brown was Hemingway's dear friend as well as his personal trainer and boxing coach. He served as a pallbearer at Hemingway's funeral. As far as we can determine, he was the only nonrelation on an "Ernie" basis with Hemingway. Although Hemingway regularly inscribed large numbers of his books (many that he did NOT inscribe can be found on ebay), it is quite possible that this is the only inscribed copy of this book. A wonderful and, given the subject of the anthology, appropriate association copy.

Second Printing in publisher's original decorated cloth. Illustrated with plates. This copy virtually unique as it is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by both the author and the subject, as President. Riis's inscription is dated 5 August 1908. Roosevelt writes: "with the best wishes of/Theodore Roosevelt/The White House/Jan. 18th 1909." The addition of "The White House" by Roosevelt is notable as prior to Roosevelt's administration, the residence was known as the "President's Palace," the "President's House," and the "Executive Mansion." It was Teddy Roosevelt who officially named it "The White House" in 1901. Of the many books signed by Roosevelt we have both handled and seen, we have never before encountered one in which he has noted it with his signature.
