The Vegetable

F. Scott Fitzgerald

FITZGERALD, F. Scott (1896-1940). The Vegetable or from President to postman. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1923.



'Undoubtedly the best thing I have ever written' (Fitzgerald): first edition, first printing, preserving the scarce dust-jacket and signed by the author. The Vegetable, Fitzgerald’s only published play, was also described by its author as ‘the best piece of American comedy to date’ Bruccoli A10.1.a.



Octavo. Original linen-grain green cloth, titled in blind to front board, spine lettered in gilt, partly unopened at beginning and end (gilt lettering to spine a little dulled); original pictorial dust-jacket (lightly rubbed, spine panel a little darkened, a few minor nicks or chips at spine ends and corners just encroaching into the ‘D’ of Fitzgerald on upper panel). Provenance: encircled ‘D’ stamp to rear pastedown.
