Description:
Complete bound Volume 1 (Numbers 1-12) of Popular Flying, preserving the original covers. Edited by W.E Johns, with significant contributions including illustrations and writing by him. Includes the first appearance of Biggles in the story "The White Fokker" (as well as a further short story as 'William Earle'). A total of 10 of these 12 issues contain Biggles stories, the early stories under the pen-name "William Earle". Very Good condition internally (protected by the binding), with bumping to lower corners of pages, and early cracking to front hinge. Externally, there is significant scraping to the boards and chipping/discolouration to the spine label. It is most uncommon for bound volumes to preserve the glorious original covers of these magazines.William Earl Johns (5 February 1893 – 21 June 1968) was an English pilot and writer of adventure stories, usually written under the pen name Captain W. E. Johns. He is best remembered as the creator of the ace pilot and adventurer Biggles.

HEMINGWAY, Ernest

A very early copy of The Old Man and the Sea. Published by Charles Scribner's Sons, 1952.

Description

A notable early copy of the very first US edition.
It is possibly the tightest of all of Hemingway's stories. In polishing which he achieved astonishing depth of meaning in his narrative.
The last of his major works, The Old Man and The Sea earned Hemingway both the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes.
First edition, later issue, with dust jacket blurb announcing the Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes. A handsome copy of Hemingway's award-winning masterpiece.
Near fine condition. Excepting the slightest tone along the jacket top edge, this would be a fine copy. No inscriptions and bright throughout.
