The original printed green patterned wrappers remain vibrant, though exhibiting mild age-toning, particularly towards the spine and margins, alongside trivial rubbing to the extremities. The binding is remarkably tight and square, showing no evidence of careless reading or spine creasing. The page edges are moderately age-toned, a standard attribute of the cheaper paper stock utilised for proofs of this era. Internally, the text block is clean and free of foxing. An idiosyncratic, illegible ink notation resides on the upper right corner of the front wrapper, but the copy is otherwise devoid of significant wear or previous ownership markings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is the exceptionally scarce Uncorrected Proof copy for the first UK edition of Hemingway's posthumous memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eNotably, this pre-publication state exhibits the misprint of the title as \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"205\"\u003eA Movable Feast\u003c\/i\u003e on both the front cover and the title page, omitting the 'e' from \"Moveable,\" a point of issue which was corrected prior to the commercial first edition published later the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eBound in the publisher's iconic green patterned wrappers featuring the Jonathan Cape urn motif, this copy represents a highly desirable survivor of Hemingway's Parisian reflections in its earliest printed form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003ePublished posthumously, Hemingway’s classic memoir captures the intoxicating, vibrant atmosphere of 1920s Paris. With a blend of profound nostalgia and biting clarity, he chronicles his early struggles as a young, impoverished writer, alongside vivid, often unvarnished portraits of the 'Lost Generation' literary circle, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, and Gertrude Stein. It is an enduring meditation on youth, love, and the relentless pursuit of artistic truth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55645562995027,"sku":"6573","price":305.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261022_120113.jpg?v=1793190246","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/a-movable-feast-ernest-hemingway-1st-edition-uncorrected-proof","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
