Winner Take Nothing Facsimile dust jacket for the first edition book by Ernest Hemingway
No book is included. 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. J. A. Miller, at Phantom Bookshop
His art is in collections of
The Smithsonian Institution, Chicago Art & Science Industry, The
Carnegie Art Museum, Chicago Art Institute, Clarke Humanities Museum at
Scripps College, President Obama, "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
