Octavo, original dark green cloth with gilt titles to the spine. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, â With the Pleasant memories of La Paix behind me alas and alack! Souvenir of 1932â "1933 for M.T. from her â " at least from one who was almost made to feel like â " a guest. F. Scott Fitzgerald.â The recipient, Margaret Turnbull, who with her husband Bayard owned La Paix, a 28â "acre estate with a large Victorian house near Towson, Maryland. The Fitzgeralds rented La Paix from the Turnbulls in 1932 and 1933 because of its proximity to the Phipps Clinic, the psychiatric branch of Johns Hopkins, where Zelda was being treated. This is also where Fitzgerald finished work on his second masterpiece, Tender is the Night. The Turnbulls lived nearby in another house on the estate; while Bayard Turnbull disapproved of Fitzgerald, his wife Martha shared an interest in literature with him and became a good friend of him. According to her son, at their first dinner together â Fitzgerald grew heated on the subject of Thomas Wolfe and left the table to get his copy of â Look Homeward, Angelâ , which he insisted my mother take with her and read at onceâ ¦ Out of such treads their friendship was woven.

Cloth. Condition: Very Good -. The 1925 true 1st edition, conforming to all required issue points ("chatter" {pg. 60}; "northern" {pg. 119); "it's" {pg. 165}; "away" {pg. 165}; "sick in tired" {pg. 205}; and "Union Street station" {pg. 211}). Incredibly, this copy includes 80%-90% of the rear cover of the 1st issue dustjacket, which has been neatly pasted onto the front free endpaper. We know this is the 1st issue because it features one of the legendary issue points of the 1st edition, in fact the only issue point for the dustjacket, the upper case "J" in Jay Gatsby, here --as in every 1st issue dustjacket-- harshly printed over the accidental lower case "j". A mistake of course made back in the day (1924) by the Scribner printers -- and an endearing one.
