NWR: I have a friend who is starting a collection of First Edition Books... w/ Poll
So I want to get her one for Christmas.
I was checking eBay and I have a couple of choices in my price range. I know it's tricky finding an ACTUAL first edition, but I trust this seller, his descriptions include whether it's a first or second printing and the coding inside the book.
Now, she just bought a Hemingway first edition, Across the River and into the Trees , which is not as critically acclaimed as his other works, but she didn't care, she got a good price and she likes Hemingway. I think this is her first and only 1st edition, but she definitely wants more.
Should I stick to Hemingway? Or should I do something a little different and maybe get Tropic of Cancer or Animal Farm? or something else?
