FITZGERALD, F. Scott. The Great Gatsby. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1925. Octavo, original green cloth. $4600.

First edition, first issue of what is generally considered the greatest and most famous of all American novels. A cornerstone of any modern first collection. Book very nearly fine, with cloth remarkably clean and gilt bright; slight toning to text block (as often).  A beautiful copy. Without the exceedingly scarce, exceedingly valuable dust-jacket.
