  • Good value for a hard to find book

    It's nice to read from an actual book. The price was certainly right. I read the book for book club. People had a hard time finding the book. This was in excellent condition. It was an exercise in reading Hemmingway again - after so many years. It was a good taste of his writing and personality.
