BULLFIGHTING, SPORT & INDUSTRY.
Sacramento: Meeker Publications, 1999. First edition. Number 53 of 474 numbered copies from a total edition of 500. The first separate printing of Hemingway's article which first appeared in the March 1930 issue of Fortune Magazine. Foreword by Conrad, who notes that the article was written as Hemingway commenced research on his 1932 nonfiction book on bullfighting, DEATH IN THE AFTERNOON, and that Hemingway -- who considered bullfighting a tragedy not a sport -- was not responsible for the title. Conrad, who did some bullfighting himself and knew the subject well, considered this to be the "most accurate in-depth overview of bullfighting published in the English language." Fine in fine dust jacket and slipcase, as issued (also fine).
