Whit Burnett (Ed.) Dust Jacket: None. Hardcover: Very Good+ New York: The Dial Press, 1950. Mustard cloth with black lettering on spine. No writing or markings in this solid book, 1186 pp.
This is an amazing book edited by Whit Burnett. Includes not only Ernest Hemingway (The Snows of Kilimanjaro) but Steinbeck, Frost and the great American and International writers of the time. It also ranks them by "the 50 most voted upon" with Hemingway at 4th and this was in 1950 before winning the Nobel & Pulitzer Prizes. First on that list was George Bernard Shaw, Thomas Mann, Eugene O'Neill, E.H. followed by Sinclair Lewis, Sigrid Undset and T.S. Eliot. A veritable whose who!
