Ernest Hemingway Scribner's Paperback Set and Religious Study Guides
This collection consists of a vertical stack of various paperbound books and softcover study guides. The centerpiece of the stack features a three-volume set of classic literary works by Ernest Hemingway, specifically 'For Whom the Bell Tolls', 'A Farewell to Arms', and 'The Sun Also Rises'. These specific editions are published by Scribner's, identified by the distinctive blue line and typeface on the black spines. These appear to be mass-market or trade paperback editions from the late 20th century. Above the Hemingway set is a blue softcover copy of 'A Marvelous Work and a Wonder' by LeGrand Richards. Interspersed and surrounding these are several 'Relief Society Personal Study Guides', including one explicitly dated 1989. The materials are primarily paper and cardstock with printed inks. The physical condition ranges from fair to good; there is visible edge wear, minor corner bumping, and some color fading on the spines consistent with age and storage. The stack suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century origin for the majority of the items. The alignment of the Hemingway spines indicates they may have been part of a boxed set originally, though the slipcase is not visible. Overall, they represent a mix of classic American literature and mid-century religious instructional materials.
