A propos de cet article

First UK Printing. - CONDITION & DESCRIPTION: An important early Fitzgerald novel, presented with a specially produced, full-colour artistic reconstruction of the exceptionally scarce original first Collins dustjacket. This is a modern interpretative facsimile, created specifically for this volume, and NOT an original 1922 dustjacket. - Considerable research and careful digital design work went into recreating as close a representation as possible of the documented original wrapper. Working from a surviving black-and-white historical illustration, the distinctive typography, spine lettering, original pricing, publisher's advertisements, proportions and overall composition were carefully studied and reconstructed. The resulting dustjacket depicts a glamorous young woman wearing an elaborate 1920s headdress, adorned with pearls, with a decorative fan and cigarette holder against a richly coloured New York skyline. The reconstruction captures the elegance and glamour of the Jazz Age while remaining faithful to the general composition of the surviving historical reference. Colours and certain illustrative details are interpretative and should not be regarded as an authenticated reproduction of the original colour scheme. - The finished dustjacket has been specially produced to fit the original volume, providing an attractive presentation of this important early Fitzgerald novel. - The book itself is bound in dark blue cloth boards with red-stamped lettering and decoration to the front and spine. The cloth has received some repair, which is mentioned here for completeness; please study the photographs for a clear representation of the binding. The book remains well bound, with a complete text. - The pages are age-toned, with scattered spotting, particularly among the preliminary pages. The text remains clear and readable throughout. The main text runs from page 3 to page 386, followed by six pages of Collins advertisements, pages 387–392. - Of particular interest is an original Boots Book-Lovers' Library withdrawal slip, dated 1922 in its printed form, still present among the final advertisements. This is an appealing survival associated with the book's early circulation and reading history. - A handsome example of the first Collins printing of Fitzgerald's second novel, combining an original 1922 volume with a carefully researched, specially commissioned reconstruction of its exceptionally scarce dustjacket. - Please study the photographs, which form part of the description. - END.- Our orders are shipped within 1 or 2 business days. - Thanks for your interest and I hope you like the book enough to buy it.…
