About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1926. First printing. Fine.. First edition, a beautiful copy with college humor-laced provenance from the year of publication. Fitzgerald's third collection of short stories, this book followed directly in the wake of GATSBY's success. The stories themselves, including "Absolution" and "The Rich Boy, " were composed both before and after GATSBY, taking on similar themes, and building a larger conversation with the beloved novel. Copies rarely survive in as beautiful shape as this one, but the additional provenance feels particularly apt: it was gifted to sorority member Charlotte Cooper at Syracuse University's Alpha Phi House.
A tremendously fitting Jazz-Age provenance with an otherwise pristine copy. 7.5'' x 5''. Original full green cloth, lettered in blind on front board and in gilt on spine. Original unclipped brown pictorial dust jacket with flapper on front panel by Cleonike Damianakes Wilkins. Fore edge machine deckle. Scribner's seal on copyright page. [8], 267, [1] pages. Inked joke "because of Croupy Coop" on front panel of jacket, referring to gift recipient to whom the book is inscribed on the front pastedown: "Charlotte F. Cooper / Alpha Phi House / From / Lee Story / March 1926." Syracuse University Book Store ticket on gutter of front pastedown. Aside from inscriptions, beautiful.
