Item description from seller

Flappers and Philosophers. By F. Scott Fitzgerald, Author of \u0093This Side of Paradise\u0094. New York: Charles Scribner\u0092s Sons, September, 1920. First Edition, First Printing. FACSIMILE DUST JACKET! 269 p, original dark green cloth binding measures 7.75 x 5.5\u0094, 8vo. In fair condition. FACSIMILE DUST JACKET: bright and clean. Binding slightly cocked. Boards normally scuffed at edges and worn\/bumped at corners. Head and tail of spine bumped; tail exhibits some frayed cloth. Gilt lettering moderately soiled, but legible. Off-setting on front paste-down & end-page from previously laid-in item. Ownership signature, in ink, on front end-page: \u0093M. Jeanette Williams\u0094. Normal toning in margins. Binding intact. Please see photos and ask questions, if any, before purchasing. Fitzgerald\u0092s first three dust jackets were designed by artist William E. Hill (1887-1962). Hill had made a name for himself illustrating for Puck magazine and the Sunday New York Tribune. His ability to depict everyday people in natural settings was well-known, so when Scribner\u0092s editor Maxwell Perkins needed to choose an artist for Fitzgerald\u0092s upcoming publications, he looked to this established artist. The cover art for Flappers and Philosophers (1920) features an illustration for perhaps the best story in the collection, Bernice Bobs Her Hair. The choice of both title and art for this book did well to make it a best-seller: the word \u0093flappers\u0094 and the art showing a young girl cropping her hair in the latest style are at once attractive and provocative, easily capturing the attention of any young person perusing their local bookstore. Even though it was the lifelike quality to his work that earned Hill the job, Scribner\u0092s choose another illustrator for Fitzgerald\u0092s subsequent books, when Fitzgerald complained that the couples Hill drew looked more and more like himself and his wife Zelda. In a 1922 letter to Perkins about The Beautiful and Damned (1922) cover, Fitzgerald commented that \u0093the girl is excellent of course\u0094 but thought the man looked like \u0093a debauched version of me.\u0094 Hill was replaced by illustrator John Held, Jr. Held\u0092s work, which adorned the covers of many of the most popular magazines of the era, is much more cartoony than lifelike, but the characters he created were also exemplary of the Roaring 20's.
