I found this one totally by accident while looking at some eBay stuff with my Father-in-Law. Since buying and selling used books online is something of a hobby for him I asked if he would keep a lookout for that one through one of his suppliers so we wouldn't have to pay shipping on just one book.
 
With that info I promptly forgot about it.... A few weeks ago I was opening a gift from him and lo and behold (what does that actually mean anyway?)Big smile here is the book and he reproduced the cover artwork and framed it since the original would be hidden on the bookshelf.
 
One thing we found out though is that not all editions have the spiffy looking jeep cover....this one turns out to be a '67 edition.
 
The book is a collection of Hemingway's works as a reporter.....

That is REALLY COOL !

Does that suggest that Hemingway drove or owned a flatfender during his time as a correspondent?
Ughh. One more thing I need to collect !

I feel a small connection to EH since my great grandfather designed and built his boat, the PILAR.
