I was looking for this story again, and thought I saw it here. I guess not. For those who missed it:

Mr McKinty is certainly right about the potential resale value of the library - while tagging, or searching for covers for, Hemingway's LT catalog, I've seen several instances of his particular editions currently going for $1000 plus.

I wonder if I could have shown his self-control when the cop dropped his "price" to a hundred bucks.

Thanks for the intriguing and ultimately very depressing link, benjclark :)

I think there should be a link to that story on the profile page of Hemingway's library here on LT. It sounds like a story he could have written himself!

Another journalist goes to visit Hemingway's house in Key West:

Featured in the free email newsletter of AbeBooks called The Avid Reder, which is pretty decent.

Bob Vila (yes, that Bob Vila) is working on fundraising for a new facility in Cuba to care for the archival materials there, including Hemingway's books.
