Item description from seller

F. SCOTT FITZGERALD. TENDER IS THE NIGHT, first edition, first printing in first state dust jacket, Scribners 1934 Inscribed by F. Scott Fitzgerald to Kent Curtis, author of THE TIRED CAPTAINS, Appleton: 1928. Inscription: “Dear Curtis — you have been so appreciate of my books in the past that I thought this might amuse you. Scott Fitzgerald.” According to Prof. Matthew J. Bruccoli, the preeminent F. Scott Fitzgerald scholar, this book (A 15.I.a) is one of 7,600 copies first printed April 12, 1934. Printed by Scribner Press. The book was dedicated to Gerald and Sara Murphy, a wealthy couple Fitzgerald and Zelda met while living in the Riviera, France in the 1920s. Book is in original first state dust jacket with front flap reviews by T. S. Eliot, H. L. Mencken, and Paul Rosenfeld. Original “$2.50” price is still present. Provenance: This book is inscribed by Fitzgerald on the front flyleaf to Kent Curtis. Which date exactly is unknown. Kent Curtis (1890 – 1957) was known as an American author, illustrator, World War I aviator, camp director, teacher and yachtsman. THE TIRED CAPTAINS, (included with purchase of this first edition of TENDER IS THE NIGHT), uses Curtis’ personal WWI experiences as background for his novel. Throughout the 1920s, Kent Curtis lived in Paris, where he met F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Curtis also had the State of Minnesota in common with Fitzgerald, as well as the Florida islands with Hemingway. Curtis was related to Hart Crane, American poet, as well as Rockwell Kent, author and illustrator. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote that he believed Kent Curtis’ The Blushing Camel — a boys’ story — was comparable to books by Ernest Hemingway and Mark Twain. Fitzgerald also thought THE TIRED CAPTAINS could be categorized in the same vein as several of Joseph Conrad’s books. The University of Virginia, which possesses The Kent Curtis Papers, has several letters written by F. Scott Fitzgerald to Curtis. Curtis also associated with Howard Vincent O’Brien, Joseph Whitehall, Sinclair Lewis, Archibald MacLeish, Stephen Vincent Benet and other ex-patriot authors of the 1920s while in paris. Curtis was also acquainted with Gerald and Sara Murphy. Kent Curtis devoted more than thirty summers to Camp Mishawaka, a boys’ retreat in Minnesota, where he played piano, acted, worked as a woodsman, sailor, and raconteur. Curtis was also co-owner of Camp Mishawaka and served as a counselor and entertainment director. TENDER IS THE NIGHT: book is in very good plus to near fine condition; pages are bright, clean and showing some light toning at edges; cloth covers are also bright, however, they do have a light bit of dusting and spotting; spine shows some very light sunning, yet, the gilt print is still bright and bold; two previous booksellers markings appear on the front pastedown of this book, one is a book stamp and the other is a bookplate, both from early california book dealers. Dust jacket is in very good plus condition, perhaps better, showing light fading to the spine, several short closed end tears that have been conserved on inside of jacket; internal hinges have also been lightly conserved on inside of jacket; jacket is complete and shows no signs of restoration. Jacket may have been supplied, yet it superbly matches book condition. This observation is assumed after reading the description of this book in prof. bruccoli’s F. SCOTT FITZGERALD in the Marketplace, University of South Carolina Press, 2009, wherein a dust jacket is not mentioned. Also offered in this lot: THE TIRED CAPTAINS by Kent Curtis was published in 1928 by the Appleton Book Company and is a first edition, first printing in first state dust jacket, inscribed by Curtis to Kilmer Church. Book is in very good plus to near fine condition; dust jacket is in very good plus condition with light sunning to spine and light chipping at head of spine. COLORADO ARTIFACTUAL.
