To Have and Have Not by Ernest Hemingway 

SECOND EDITION [1954] CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS

Scarce 1950's Scribner hardcover re-issue with jacket designed by Johannes Troyer.

Mid-sized hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition.  

Dust jacket shows wear; mostly in a few torn edges and some tanning to wraps;  also features a few vintage shop stickers on it 

Book itself is excellent; some mild discoloration to blue cloth.  Otherwise, clean tight and reads beautifully w/ just a few tiny spots to text block.   

To Have and Have Not is the dramatic story of Harry Morgan, an honest man who is forced into running contraband between Cuba and Key West as a means of keeping his crumbling family financially afloat. His adventures lead him into the world of the wealthy and dissipated yachtsmen who throng the region, and involve him in a strange and unlikely love affair.

Harshly realistic, yet with one of the most subtle and moving relationships in the Hemingway oeuvre, To Have and Have Not is literary high adventure at its finest.
