Item description from seller

Full chocolate brown leather decorated and titled in gilt; hubbed spine; silk moire endpapers and marker ribbon, all edges gilt. Limited to an unspecified number of copies for advance reservation subscribers only to the publisher's "100 Greatest Books Ever Written" An unused, unread example. Hemingway's 1929 novel (and his first best-seller) of love and loss set during the Italian campaign of World War I. The novel explores the love affair between an American, Frederic Henry, serving as a lieutenant in the Italian ambulance corps and and an English nurse, Catherine Barclay. When Henry is wounded at the Italian front and sent to a hospital, he requests Catherine, whom he had briefly met earlier, to be his nurse. They slowly fall in love and as Frederic recovers, they spend the summer together. As Frederick is called back to the front, Catherine tells him that she is three months pregnant. The Italian forces are forced to retreat at the Battle of Caporetto; Frederic narrowly escapes being executed for treason, jumping into a river and then trekking across the plains in an effort to find Catherine (to tell the rest of the story would be a spoiler).…
