I have been in the rare and antiquarian book business for over forty years; my family has been in the rare books business since 1876. Rare books are in my blood.

Published three years after Hemingway’s death, A Moveable Feast is among the most evocative literary memoirs of the 20th century - his recollection of 1920s Paris and its extraordinary circle, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, and Ezra Pound.
The work was assembled and edited from manuscripts by his widow, Mary Hemingway, and remains a cornerstone of modern literary autobiography.
