This Side of Paradise.

First edition of Fitzgerald's first novel, with an initial printing of only 3,000 copies, which sold out in three days. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper with a full page inscription, "For William Henneman with best wishes - this old old book; the sight of it reminds me, all too dramaticly [sic], that I'm almost forty. F. Scott Fitzgerald Spring 1936." Very good with some inner strengthening in a rare early dust jacket with light and wear. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. A unique example displaying Fitzgerald's thoughts about his early writing.
