What Our Customers Say...
Description
Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first two volumes of a six volume set dedicated to reproducing the 1920s work of F. Scott Fitzgerald.
In original, unclipped dust wrappers, in very good condition.
Decorated with gilt lettering to spine.
Published by The Bodley Head, named for the founder of the Bodleian Library, and which now focus on non-fiction publications.
1966 and 1964 reprints - a result of the popularity of The Bodley Head's series. Initially intended to be a selection of Fitzgerald's "best work", The Bodley Head identified a greater demand than anticipated, and expanded their publications of Fitzgerald's work.
These volumes include 'The Great Gatsby', 'Tender is the Night', and the unfinished final work, 'The Last Tycoon'.
With introductions by playwright J. B. Priestley.
