His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips’ touch she blossomed like a flower and the incarnation was complete.Here we offer the TRUE first edition, first printing of the classic American novel, perhaps the greatest novel ever, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, published in 1925 by Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York. Edited by Maxwell Perkins, every page, every line, every word of this rich, sublime novel is carefully chosen for a very important reason. And yet, its immense import was not felt until the Army distributed copies of the book to soldiers in WWII, just after Fitzgerald’s death. In 1940, as hundreds of cases of the unsold second edition of Gatsby languished in Scribners’ warehouse, Fitzgerald, fearing his physical decline, wrote Max Perkins, referring to Scottie Fitzgerald, his teenaged daughter: “I wish I was in print. It will be odd a year or so from now when Scottie assures her friends I was an author and finds that no book is procurable… Professionally, I know, the next move must come from me. Would the 25-cent press keep Gatsby in the public eye—or is the book unpopular? Has it had its chance? Would a popular reissue in that series with a preface not by me but by one of its admirers – I can maybe pick one – make it a favorite with classrooms, profs, lovers of English prose – anybody? But to die, so completely and unjustly after having given so much. Even now, there is little published in American fiction that doesn’t slightly bare my stamp—in a small way I was an original.” Here we offer the original, scarce Gatsby first–not a facsimile edition–with all the first issue points: Scribner seal on copyright page opposite Zelda dedicationOn page 60, line 16 is the word “chatter” (later states read “echolalia”)On page 119, line 22 is the word “northern” (later changed to “southern”)Page 165, line 16 reads « it’s »; line 29 missing punctuation after « away » (later corrected.)On page 205 , lines 9-10 is the word “sick in tired” (later changed to “sickantired”)On page 211, lines 7-8 is the words “Union Street Station” (later states read “Union Station”) The book comes wrapped in the highest quality facsimile of the first edition dust jacket you can only get here, newly remastered and printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers. The book also comes with collector’s notes and a charming ungummed copy of a fantasy Fitzgerald bookplate humorist Herb Roth designed for « The New Yorker » in 1925. Fitzgerald was so pleased by the cartoon’s double-edged image of festivity and fatality that he included a personal clipping of it as a preface to his Gatsby papers at Princeton. Boards are very good with some edgewear, especially at the head and foot of the spine cloth. Rear board has light scuff marks. There is a small indentation atop page 3 (please see pics.) Intact, uninscribed endpapers. Binding is very tight and square with great hinges. Text is very clean, bright, and crisp. Dust jacket comes sleeved in ph-neutral Mylar, ready to slip into your collection. 218 pages. The book measures approximately 7 3/4 x 5.5-inches. This very well-preserved, iconic first edition will make a wonderful centerpiece to your first collection or a very thoughtful gift.Please click HERE to see the other F Scott Fitzgerald classics we offer!
