FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS
Facsimile Dust
Jacket for the Ernest Hemingway first edition book published by Charles Scribners publishing house in 1940
No book is included. This facsimile dust jacket will also fit the very early printings by Scribners Company as well...the ones without the "A" on the verso of the title page, bound in the coarse weave light tan cloth with the red and blank lettering and labels.
This listing is for the facsimile dust jacket for the book stated.
Digitally scanned and restored by fine
artist John Anthony Miller and has been trimmed, enclosed in a Mylar
jacket protector. It has been printed with pigment archival inks on 120GSM
paper. With proper care they will last for at least 90 years or more.
At the bottom of the rear jacket flap
there is the artist's monogram "JAM" and the words
"Facsimile Dust Jacket" tastefully printed, as shown. My later
dust jacket work will have "John Anthony Miller Studio" on
them. Again, tastefully stated. Please see the thumbnail photograph of
the dust jacket, which will not be as sharp as the actual product.
Additionally, this dust jacket has a
label affixed to the VERSO of the jacket, stating that it is a facsimile
dust jacket and signed by John Anthony Miller. This will make the
dust jacket facsimile more collectible in my opinion as some people are
collecting my dust jacket work to frame and it will stand on its own
merit. If you want your facsimile dust jacket send unfolded for framing,
please let me know.
Also I can resize any facsimile dust jacket to fit your particular book.
Let me know the dimensions (ie: height, spine thickness and measurement
across the front board in 1/16ths of an inch or centimeters)

"John's unique artistry was evident
as soon as I saw ' The Great Gatsby' dust jacket. Having seen scores
of facsimile jackets, John's work is in a completely different league.
The rich tonal quality of the colors is breathtaking and the weight of
the paper is carefully considered. He satisfied the needs of the
most demanding client, even during a personally trying time. I
look forward to doing continued business with him in the future and give
him my highest recommendation." Ryan Dohm, Profiles in
History, 2011
