| Description: |
| Decorations by Edward Shenton. Dark green cloth, spine lettered in gilt, color pictorial jacket; housed in a custom green morocco drop-back clamshell box designed by Jack Papuchian, decorated & lettered in gilt in style of jacket art, plus green cloth edges and silk interior lining. First Edition, First Printing. |
| First printing with publisher's seal and "A" on the copyright-page. Front jacket flap in the first issue state with the three quoted blurbs by T.S. Eliot, H.L. Mencken and Paul Rosenfeld on the front flap. Due to the restorations it is not inconceivable that the flaps were supplied from another copy (both flaps with less darkening than rest of the jacket). Fitzgerald's last completed novel published during his lifetime. First printing copies in the original jacket are rare, in any condition. Only 7600 copies of the first printing were originally produced. Bruccoli A15.I.a. |
| Condition: |
| Jacket expertly repaired, chips and tears repaired with archival paper on verso chiefly at edges and flap folds, careful color retouches over the archival repairs only. Jacket spine darkened, light soiling overall; slight shelf wear; old paper clip impression affecting first few leaves; very good or better, jacket very good in appearance, colors still nice, handsomely displayed in the attractive morocco box. |
