About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1958. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. First edition thus, with the "A" on the copyright page, preceded by the Princeton University Press issue. Contains fourteen uncollected short stories and six uncollected essays by Fitzgerald. The selections from Fitzgerald's uncollected work are evenly distributed over the course of his career as a writer, beginning with the autobiographical essay called "Who's Who - and Why," which he wrote for The Saturday Evening Post in 1920, and ending with "News of Paris - Fifteen Years Ago," a story found among Fitzgerald's papers, apparently written in 1940, and posthumously published in Furioso. Octavo. Original mauve cloth binding, with gilt titles. Faint stain to the rear board, not affecting the contents. The dust jacket is price-clipped, with a bit of minor edgewear and some neat tape repair to the verso; otherwise very good. Bruccoli A22.1.b.
