Books

First edition, with 1941 and Scribner's "A" and insignia on copyright page. A posthumous publication of the novel Fitzgerald was writing at the time of his death. Book very good, minor rubbing to edges of covers and spine ends, previous owner's bookplate attached to front paste-down, same owner's signature on title page, discoloration from binding glue showing through at paste-downs. Dust jacket very good, price-clipped, some wear and tear, front flap halfway from top to middle of flap detached.

The Last Tycoon, edited by the preeminent Fitzgerald scholar Matthew J. Bruccoli, is a restoration of the author's phrases, words, and images that were excised from the 1940 edition, giving new luster to an unfinished literary masterpiece. It is the story of Hollywood's Golden Boy, Monroe Stahr, as he battles father figures, corporate giants, and true heartache.
