FITZGERALD, F. Scott (1896-1940). Flappers and Philosophers. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1920.
Presentation copy of the first edition of Fitzgerald’s first collection of short stories, inscribed by the author: ‘For Nancy Who I hear liked the shocking b-th-t-b story Porcelain + Pink from F Scott Fitzgerald’. Flappers and Philosophers was ‘Fitzgerald’s initial encore. He had made a considerable success with his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in the spring of 1920. Now his publisher, Charles Scribner’s Sons, wanted to follow with a collection of his short stories for the fall season’ (West). It was published in an edition of 5000 copies. ‘Porcelain and Pink’, to which he refers in the inscription, was Fitzgerald’s one-act comic play published in Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), the plot of which involved a young woman in a bathtub. Bruccoli A6.1.a.
Octavo. (Some splitting at upper hinge, a few faint marginal marks, front endpapers lightly browned.) Original green cloth, titled in blind on upper board (lightly rubbed and marked, lacking the dust-jacket). Provenance: authorial presentation inscription in pencil on endpaper.
