FITZGERALD, F. Scott
This Side of Paradise
Second English edition, possibly Colonial issue. Neat ink name, and a tiny pencil name on front endpapers, fine in an attractive, very good plus dustwrapper with some modest soiling on the front panel, tiny nicks at the crown, and remnants of a sticker partially obscuring the original 2'6' price. The sticker is hard to read, but we think it may note that this copy had a New South Wales derivation, indicating this might have been issued as either an Australian, or more likely, an "all-purpose" Colonial edition. Fitzgerald's first book, altered considerably from the American edition. This second English edition was published in February, 1923, not quite two years after the first. Any early jacketed editions of this title are rare. OCLC indexes but four copies of this edition in libraries, without specifying whether any copies have jackets.
