Price: US$400.00 + shipping
Description: First Edition, First State ( 'SD; 'Published March, 1922 ', no publisher seal on the copyright page and no ads). You can see the hunter green covers in the photos. There's a small brown spot on the front, one on the spine. The rear cover has several whitish spots. The gilt lettering at the top of the spine is only lightly faded. The gilt is gone from the publisher's name at the bottom of the spine. There is a little wear at the top and bottom edges of the spine, a few tiny tears with small spots of rub-through. There are also a couple of thin vertical creases on the spine. The top and bottom cover edges are free of rubbing and are not faded at all. Neither are the middle cover edges, but the front one has a small scuff of rub-through. All four corners also have small spots of rub-through. There is also a nick on the front side of the spine with a speck-sized spot of rub-through near its bottom corner. There is a tiny nick on the top page edge. The middle page edge is deckled or rough-cut. They did a very good job with one exception, the middle edges of the Dedication page and the following Contents page exchanged a little paper at these edges, so that parts of each one's middle edge has little losses, far from the print. That did not recur on any other page. The book is solidly bound from cover to cover. I found only one instance of a thin space at the juncture between two facing pages (pages 4 and 5), both of these pages are tightly bound from top to bottom. The junctures between all the other pages are very nicely tight. A dozen or so late pages are a little tighter at the bottom than the top, but no spaces at all at any of their junctures. The covers are solidly bound. No wear at all at the front inside covers juncture with the front end paper. There is a thin tear over the bottom half of the juncture between the rear inside cover and the rear end paper with a little bit of webbing showing. The rear cover is very tight, no give at all. The pages are quite clean. I quickly turned over every one of them and didn't find any instances of conspicuous soiling, none at all. Maybe there are a dozen, or a little more, of either a speck of a spot or a tiny spot. That's it. There are a number of minor page imperfections: there was a mild sort of scratch across a narrow part of the middle page edge which created a tiny nick at the middle edge of a good number of pages, very mild, no tears or anything like that, something most sellers would very likely not even reference. So that is one minor imperfection. I also found a couple of instances of a very tiny nick at a bottom edge. I found a total of two placeholder creases, or what appear to be placeholder creases, both quite light, also only a few little creases just below the tips of their top corners. Six other consecutive pages had a very small crease crossing below their top corners. And toward the end of the book there were four instances of those very thin lightning-like creases, one off the top edge of four different pages. So, all in all, not a lot of creasing, none on probably at least 95% of the pages. On a page that has only 'Book III' on it there is a little hole, not much bigger than a pinprick. At one top corner there's a small loss, far from the print. As earlier mentioned, there's a tiny nick at the top page edge, yet still creating 1 or 2 tiny(1/16th") tear/losses (5th photo) at the top edge of six consecutive pages, again far from the print. I didn't see any other tears or losses on any of the other pages. There are no markings or attachments, and no writing, to be found anywhere in the book. 'This novel's plot follows young artist Anthony Patch and his flapper wife Gloria Gilbert who become 'wrecked on the shoals of dissipation' while excessively partying at the dawn of the hedonistic Jazz Age. As Fitzgerald's second novel, the work focuses upon the swinish behavior and glittering excesses of the American social elite in the heyday of New York's café society.'

As in Fitzgerald's other novels, the characters are complex, especially with respect to marriage and intimacy. The book is believed to be largely based on Fitzgerald's relationship with Zelda Fitzgerald. The novel tells the story of Anthony Patch, a 1910s socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon's fortune, his relationship with his wife, Gloria, his service in the army, and his alcoholism.

Bruccoli A9.I.a. Tales of the Jazz Age is Fitzgerald's second collection of short stories, published shortly after his second novel The Beautiful and the Damned; as per Scribner's sales tactics, each collection of short stories was scheduled to follow the publication of a novel, with the goal of the short story collection to feed off of the popularity of its companion novel. Tales of the Jazz Age includes some of the author's most well-known short stories, organized thematically into three sections: "My Last Flappers," "Fantasies," and "Unclassified Masterpieces." Specifically, it includes 11 stories: "The Jelly-Bean," "The Camel's Back," "May Day," "Porcelain and Pink," "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," "Tarquin of Cheapside," "Oh, Russet Witch!," "The Lees of Happiness," "Mr. Icky," "Jemina," and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," which served as the basis for the 2008 film starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.

Description: Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1922. Hardcover. Condition: Poor+. First Edition. First Printing with the Scribners seal on the copyright page and the concluding advertisements on pp. 451-452. 449pps. Publisher's dark blue-green linen-like cloth, the spine lettered gilt, the upper cover blind-stamped with the title and author, the fore-edge untrimmed. No dust jacket.Gilded lettering of the spine is worn due to age, with slight tearing on both top and bottom of the spine; slight watermark on front board; spine, slighlty pulled and pages yellowed from age. The Beautiful and Damned, in cut and edited form, first appeared in seven installments in Metropolitan magazine, from September 1921 to March 1922. The book, according to Bruccoli, came out on 4 March 1922, in a first impression of 20,600 copies. It went through two more printings that year, for a total of 50,000 copies. After the spectacular success of Fitzgerald's first novel, This Side of Paradise (1920), he struck out in a new direction, presenting in The Beautiful and Damned a more sparing, focused narrative, relying largely on an omniscient narrator. "Its style," according to the Literary Encyclopedia, "moves towards that integration of romantic and modernist elements which will come to such dazzling fruition in his next novel, The Great Gatsby." Some pencilled underlining from prior owner.

Harvard-educated and an aspiring aesthete, Patch is waiting for his inheritance upon his grandfather's death. His reckless marriage to Gloria is fueled by alcohol and is destroyed by greed. The Patches race through a series of alcohol-induced fiascoes -- first in hilarity, and then in despair.

It signaled his maturity as a storyteller and, more important, as a novelist.

Description: First edition, first printing, in the rare first issue dust jacket, with the title in outline on the front panel. That Fitzgerald's second novel was a thinly disguised portrait of his and Zelda's difficult marriage did not stop him taking offence that the jacket design resembled, as he wrote to his editor Max Perkins, "a debauched version of me". In 1930, Fitzgerald commiserated with Zelda: "I wish the Beautiful and Damned had been a maturely written book because it was all true. We ruined ourselves - I have never honestly thought that we ruined each other" (quoted in Bruccoli, p. 155). Bruccoli A8.I.a. Matthew Bruccoli, Some Sort of Epic Grandeur: The Life of F.

Price: US$28000.00 + shipping
Description: Rare first printing of Fitzgerald's second novel, a sharply satirical portrait of a Jazz Age couple very like the Fitzgeralds. Fitzgerald's second semi-autobiographical novel, holding an outstanding place in the literature on what it is to be young, beautiful, gifted, drunk, and useless. A rich boy sent to Harvard because "there was no other logical thing to be done with him," the cheerful, pleasant Anthony Patch sees his inner foundations slowly corroded by the sure expectation of coming into great wealth; while Gloria Gilbert, who likes to talk about her legs "as though they were a sort of choice bric-à-brac," fulfills the prophecy given her before her birth: "You will find much that is bogus. Also, you will do much that is bogus." Anthony and Gloria find each other, fall in love, and stylishly fall apart as the Jazz Age dawns and the Great War looms. A beautiful copy in the uncommon dust jacket. 7.25'' x 5.25''. Original green cloth with gilt-lettered spine and blind-stamped front board. In original dust jacket, illustrated by W.E. Hill.
