Ernest Hemingway
A Descriptive Bibliography
by Edgar Grissom
Ernest Hemingway: A Descriptive Bibliography is the culmination of all previous
endeavors in Hemingway bibliography. Grissom corrects the work of previous bibliographers,
adding numerous editions and printings to the periods they covered and
addressing the years 1975–2009, which had previously been left untouched. This is
the only Hemingway bibliography to classify edition, printing, issue, and state, and
provide a classical bibliographical description. It is also the only text that provides and
describes every printing of every edition, as well as a comprehensive list of the parent
editions of the primary works. Additionally, the text supplies the locations of the
copies it describes. In addition to a number of useful appendices, Grissom has created
sections with reviews and epigraphs containing material by Hemingway, interviews
with Hemingway, as well as lists of plays, television productions, and films adapted
from Hemingway’s works. The bibliography includes hundreds of illustrations,
including over 50 images of Hemingway’s signature from 1908 to 1960. Appendix
8, which is part of Volume II (on the attached CD-ROM), provides comprehensive
imaging in color of selected items from specific sections, all arranged chronologically.

This new bibliography of Rudyard Kipling, the first English-language author
to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, is the first to appear in fifty years and the first
to incorporate modern standards of collation, binding cloth description, publication
dates and prices, and dust jacket description. It fully describes 480 first editions,
authorized and unauthorized, appearing as books, pamphlets, leaflets and broadsides
from 1881 through 2008 in British India, England, the United States, Canada, New
Zealand, South Africa, and Chile. This work also includes 127 titles of books with
contributions from Kipling, 17 titles containing prefaces, introductory letters and
forewords by Kipling, and 123 titles first printing his private letters. Also described
are all important association and presentation copies of Kipling’s earliest works.
Significant innovations in this bibliography include the first complete chronological
list of all of Kipling’s newspaper and periodical appearances and the first examination
of all English and American auction sale catalogues with lots of his editions and
separate listings of unauthorized private editions and private editions as first editions.
Further appendices include a chronology of the author’s life and major works, and
titles of biographical studies of Rudyard and his immediate family.
