1925 The Great Gatsby TRUE 1^st edition 1^st printing F Scott Fitzgerald Jazz Age

“He smiled understandingly-much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced–or seemed to face–the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor”

― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

First printing of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s landmark 20^th-century novel!

This book includes ALL the first printing points that it should have. See below. Few books have garnered the title of the Great American Novel, or even been considered such. Titles such as Twain’s “Huckleberry Finn,” Melville’s “Moby Dick,” and Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” are all in the same category as this American masterpiece. A highly desirable American novel.
