Decorations by Edward Shenton. Dark green cloth, spine lettered in gilt, color pictorial jacket. First Edition

First printing with publisher's seal and "A" on the copyright-page. First issue jacket with front 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. 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. This copy also includes a facsimile dust jacket, tucked beneath the original jacket. Bruccoli A15.I.a.

Jacket in two pieces, split along the fold between spine and rear panel, attached via rebacking; as the two pieces overlap it is not possible to verify whether both halves are from the same original jacket, but both have matching tape repairs to the reverse, tape marks also visible along fold between front panel and flap, toning and wear, chipping to spine; volume itself with a hint of rubbing and a small chip to rear hinge of spine, very good in fair jacket.
