New York: Charles Scribners Sons. Fine+ in Fine dust jacket. 1951. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. One of the undesignated number of copies specially numbered and signed by Jones. Gilt lettering on spine tarnished, otherwise a very fine, exceptionally tight copy in dust jacket with one virtually invisible closed tear to the top edge and only slight fading to the orange lettering on the spine panel. Dust jacket now in a clear protective cover and the book in a custom cloth clamshell with a leather label. The debut novel of James Jones, the novel focuses on several members of the US Army infantry company stationed in Hawaii in the months leading up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. The book won the National Book Award and was named one of the 100 Best Novels of the 20th century by the Modern Library Board. Later adapted into an Academy Award winning film, featuring Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Deborah Kerr, Donna Reed and Frank Sinatra. The book also has remarkable provenance. Originally from the famed Norman Unger Collection, which was bought on a whim by Maurice Neville, who proceeded to start a rare book store from the 9000 book Library. The 10 signed copies of "From Here to Eternity" is specifically mentioned in a 1987 article about Maurice Neville's gamble more than a decade after the purchase. The book eventually ended up in the collection of another famed collector Theodore B Baum, that sold for well over $10 Million on Christie's in 2021. An exceptional copy in collectors condition of this important novel. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Signed by Author .

Description:
New York: Random House, 1959. Book. Illus. by Sam March (dust jacket design). Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. Small octavo. Humes's second novel, following 'The Underground City,' both of which led to his being considered by Esquire magazine as having the same promise as two obscure guys named Updike and Styron (whoever they are). Anyway, he met a guy named Leary who introduced him to a little substance known as LSD, and after seriously indulging his fondness for the hallucinogen he became a trifle paranoid and a bit delusional, which pretty much ended his writing career. Humes was co-founder (with Peter Matthiessen and George Plimpton) of The Paris Review. He died of prostate cancer in 1992. Black cloth w/gilt lettering, 184 pages. Mildly cocked, light general wear, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light rubbing, light edgewear, creases to fore-edges of both flaps..
