Beautiful facsimile copy of probably the greatest American dramatic novel of the 20th Century. Please read all of the following carefully before purchase or asking questions: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (author of Look Homeward, Angel) Hardcover Facsimile First Edition New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1925, First Edition Library, c. 1985. $2.00 cover price. Dust jacket artwork by Francis Cugat. Contains the one-page insert notes which describes the publication history of the book, including the anecdote about the jacket artwork, one of the most famous in 20th-century American literature. All the main issue points are present in this facsimile. The main differences are of course the newness of the present copy versus a first edition copy which will exhibit much more aging, the present copy looking nearly brand new, FEL on the jacket flap, and a disclaimer on the copyright page. The jacket, boards and pages all replicate the original first edition. (If you had a copy of the actual first edition even remotely close to the condition of this book, you'd have a book worth $200,000+.) Fine in Fine Dust Jacket in Fine- Slipcase. A superior copy, one of the best I've seen. Book itself is perfect with clean boards, straight corners, clean pages, NO tears and NO chips, and almost NO rubbing to the edges. Only a few spots on the slipcase which is really no big deal. Just about as nice as you could ask for without paying much more! NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets co
