Hardcover Book, A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway (not authenticated)

This is a hardcover book featuring copyright and publication details visible on the page shown. The page includes printed text reading 'COPYRIGHT 1929 BY CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS; RENEWAL COPYRIGHT 1957 BY ERNEST HEMINGWAY, COPYRIGHT 1949 BY CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS.', 'Printed in the United States of America', 'M-2.62[MH]', and 'All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced in any form without the permission of Charles Scribner's Sons'. Additionally, there is handwritten ink inscription at the top left corner that reads 'FH GIFT 5/63 Copy #2'. The paper shows standard aging consistent with mid-20th-century publishing materials, displaying off-white tones and slight wear along the edges and corners of the page. The typography and layout are consistent with editions published by Charles Scribner's Sons during the mid-20th century. The identification rests directly on the legible printed copyright text visible on the copyright page. This item has not been authenticated and remains an unverified physical copy.

Based on what I can see in the provided image, this is a hardcover book featuring copyright details for Ernest Hemingway's 'A Farewell to Arms' published by Charles Scribner's Sons, bearing the code 'M-2.62[MH]'. I can't verify from a photo whether this is a true first edition or a later mid-20th-century printing associated with the stated copyright and renewal dates, as publication codes and typography can sometimes be complex to evaluate without physical access. The page shows standard aging, off-white tones, and slight edge wear. I would need physical inspection to confirm the exact edition, binding state, presence of a dust jacket, and overall condition, all of which heavily drive book valuations. Assuming the identification of this printing is correct, comparable mid-20th-century trade editions of this title typically sell in the $50 to $150 range depending heavily on condition and the presence of a well-preserved dust jacket. Because this item has not been authenticated and remains an unverified physical copy, its actual market value could be lower if physical examination reveals significant internal damage, missing pages, or if it turns out to be a later book club or facsimile edition. To establish a secure value and assess authenticity, an in-person examination by a rare book specialist is necessary, along with a review of potential provenance documentation.
