New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1927. First edition. Near Fine/Very Good. A bright, Near Fine copy of the book with the top-stain a bit dulled, otherwise very presentable. In a Very Good dust jacket with spine panel toned, minor chips and tears at the spine ends and corners and scuffing at the bottom of the front panel and on the flap, obscuring the "N" in Sons and the price on the front flap. With all first issue points, including unbroken font for page number 3, no printing on the bands of the dust jacket. The 14 stories in this early collection “are as clear and crisp and perfectly shaped as icicles, as sharp as splinters of glass. It is impossible to read them without realizing that seldom if ever before has a writer been able to cut so deeply into life” (Time). Included are “The Killers,” “Ten Indians,” “Today is Friday” and “Hills Like White Elephants.”. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket.

Men Without Women is a collection of short stories by Ernest Hemingway, consisting of fourteen stories that explore themes of loneliness, isolation, and heartbreak.

First editions of 'Men Without Women' were published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1927 with a black cloth cover and gold lettering. Identifying points include the mention of 'In Our Time' on the upper right of the front cover, '1927' on the copyright page but without any additional printings listed, and a lack of dust jacket as they were often discarded over time. Always verify with a professional as rebinding and reproductions can mislead.
