Description
The Great Gatsby First Edition
Title: The Great Gatsby Publisher: Modern Library Publication Date: 1934 Binding: Hardcover Book Condition: Very Good Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket Edition: 1st Edition
This is the 1934 hardcover publication (218 numbered pages, plus editorial ad section), the stated first Modern Library Edition (true first was 1925). The brown cloth (moiré pattern) cover (app. 4.5" x 6.625") is in good overall condition, with the following flaws: the spine is moderately slanted; the gilt lettering is faded; there is shallow wear to the ends of the spine and outside corners; there are light scuffs front and back, and more notable stains to the spine (see photo). The spine is securely connected, as are the front and back covers. There are no prominent stains to the front or back. The gilt finish inside cover spreads are in very good condition, with no writing, no stamps or other attachments, no stains. There are no page tears there or elsewhere. The binding is secure, with no loose or missing pages. There are few page creases, none sharp. The pages are clean, with light border sunning, but no other stains. There is no fade to any lettering, all of which is clearly legible.
