This is a genuine first edition of Hemingway, although pirated; probably by Samual Roth, in NYC in the 1950's as a promotion piece fora new magazine he was publishing. It was never offered for public sale, but was given as a premium for subscribers. Originally published poems, which first appeared in Hem's first book, THREE STORIES AND TEN POEMS, (Dijon, 1923). The first book appearance of Ultimately was in my own publication of Faulkner's SALMAGUNDI (Milwaukee, 1932). The rest of the poems had never appeared before in book form, so it is truly the first edition of Hemingway's COLLECTED POEMS. Years later this same edition was pirated on the West Coast, and so stated. signed Paul Romaine.
