Publisher's cloth, in original dust jacket. 269 pp. Short tear to the final blank which is partially unopened, the jacket tissue backed along folds, tips, and the upper extremity of the front panel with some possible infill, short closed tear to rear panel through one letter, a few scuffs to cloth and light spotting to endpapers.

Flappers and Philosophers was first published in 1920 and turned F. Scott Fitzgerald into one of the country's most popular short story writers. The book is rare in any dust jacket, the example here being the first issue. The front panel offers an illustration of a young woman receiving a flapper haircut, clearly a depiction of "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," one of Fitzgerald's most popular and enduring stories of the Jazz Age.
