Description: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald First edition, second printing, signed and inscribed by the author New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1925. First edition, second printing, one of 3,000 copies, with all six textual errors from the first printing corrected. Signed by F. Scott Fitzgerald and inscribed "For Dorothy Bissell, April 1937, F. Scott Fitzgerald, in memory of hot arguments over the Supreme Court and the autonomy of Barcelona." Bound in publisher's original dark green cloth with spine lettered in gilt and upper board in blind; lacking the scarce dust jacket; housed in a custom chemise case. Very Good with a few abrasions to the cloth most notably at the spine, a patch of slight discoloration along the top edge of the rear cover, light occasional foxing throughout. Signed copies of the author's best-known work are scarce and desirable. This copy was auctioned by Christie's in 1983, and again in 1994. In 1983 it was sold alongside copies of This Side of Paradise and The Beautiful and the Damned, also inscribed by Fitzgerald to Dorothy Bissell in a rather playful manner and dated April, 1937. During April, 1937, Fitzgerald was living at the Oak Hall Hotel in Tyron, North Carolina while Zelda was in Highland Hospital in nearby Asheville. He was heavily in debt, often drunk, and his career was at a standstill; he would embark for Hollywood in June. Brucolli A 11.1.b.
