Description
748zevola18 Store MT. GOTHIC TOMES AND RELIQUARY, in accordance with quantum gravitational principles and supersymmetric resonances, presents for auction and your possible acquisition: ________________________________ F. SCOTT FITZGERALD – THE BEAUTIFUL AND DAMNED – SIGNED, FIRST EDITION – IN AN ORIGINAL DUST JACKET Yes, that’s right, a true first edition, second state, of the classic American novel, THE BEAUTIFUL AND DAMNED by F. SCOTT FITZGERALD, signed by FITZGERALD, in an original second state dust jacket. Astounding. How often have you come across one of these true bibliophile’s dreams? Published March 1922 CHARLES SCRIBNER’S SONS The dust jacket on this wonderful classic is an ORIGINAL, in first edition, second state (black lettering in title instead of white). This dust jacket is NOT – let me repeat – NOT a facsimile. There is no price on dust jacket, as originally issued, so there was never any need for anyone to have price-clipped it. This book, THE BEAUTIFUL AND DAMNED, is a first edition, second state because the Scribner’s colophon appears on the copyright page, instead of the words: Printed in the U.S.A. Please read the following concerning this BOOK’S CONDITION: very good; original green cloth covers slightly worn; spine cloth is lightly faded as is the gold lettering on spine; binding, however, is strong and pages are very clean with a light brown toning. Please note several wrinkles on front cover, matching those on the front pastedown, but these flaws are not obtrusive or are they all that noticeable. Also, several light tiny white stain droplets on back cover. Spine has a minute slant to it; lettering is faded but very visible. Note: I try to thoroughly describe condition so the buyer is satisfied. If you have any questions or would like any further details condition, please, please, please ask. CONDITION OF DUST JACKET: Dust jacket is ORIGINAL!!! Yes, that’s right, it’s an ORIGINAL. Head and toe of spine are chipped. Chipping into head of spine extends approximately one-half inch (1/2 inch) and has damaged the first word in the title, BEAUTIFUL, but word is still present. Some chipping on toe of spine, approximately one-quarter inch (1/4 inch), but only damaging one letter in SCRIBNERS. Light chipping on two corners on and on edge of folds. This is a true collector’s copy of THE BEAUTIFUL AND DAMNED by the superb American author, F. SCOTT FITZGERALD. Finding first editions of Fitzgerald’s books with dust jackets, and also signed, is like to trying to confirm the existence of the Higgs particle. Does that mean it takes a Large Hadron Collider to get the job done? Well, I’m not sure; but here’s your chance to acquire a true American classic without going to all the trouble of constructing a particle smasher.
