F Scott Fitzgerald / The Great Gatsby With Partial Original Dustjacket 1st 1925

Description: The Great Gatsby (With Partial Original Dustjacket) Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald Title: The Great Gatsby (With Partial Original Dustjacket) Publication: New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1925. Description: Cloth. 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}). Notably, 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 jacket 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. The other unusual aspect to this copy is the crisp, solid condition it's upheld, in spite of the fact it came from the "Rental Library of Mason's Card and Book Shop, McKeesport, PA", as shown by Mason's vintage bookplate on the front pastedown. The gilt-titling along the spine is bright, the boards tight and solid, with just a touch of light soiling along the front panel's fore-edge. Needless to say, to even have a part of the iconic original dustjacket, as we have here, accompanying a 1st edition enhances the value immeasurably. Very Good -.
