Hardcover. Condition: Very Good +. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good +. 1st Edition. Decorated half cloth covers with paste on spine label in superb condition. Title and author in black followed by 10 lines of text printed in a brick color. Publisher's device in similar color. There is a very small dimple in the paper about 0.5 inch from top edge of text block that starts at the blank page preceding half title page and ends at page 25. There is also a barely discernible paper thin next to dimple on page 9. I'm guessing a pin and a pull that did not penetrate the paper. The covers and spine material are fine. Unclipped dust jacket in mylar cover is VG+. Rear fold of jacket has a very small slit. Nice jacket with very light rubbing at extremities. Previous owner's 1980 $125 sale receipt laid in.

First Edition Signed
First edition of this collection of essays by Fitzgerald, published posthumously. Octavo, original half cloth. Inscribed by Edmund Wilson, who served as editor to this posthumous Fitzgerald work, "To Frangeon L. Jones with the best regards of Edmund Wilson Peterborough Aug. 16, 1964." Laid into the book is the newspaper article from August 17,1964 regarding Edmund Wilson's presentation of the Edward MacDowell Medal at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, New Hampshire. In near fine condition, lacking the dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Uncommon signed and inscribed. The Crack-Up tells the story of Fitzgerald's sudden descent at the age of thirty-nine from glamorous success to empty despair, and his determined recovery. Contains letters to and from Gertrude Stein, Edith Wharton, T.S. Eliot and John Dos Passos." So begins a collection of essays which can be seen as a reflection of the low point of Fitzgerald's career. Indeed, the essays were poorly received when first published in Esquire magazine in 1936, and many were critical of his personal revelations. Nonetheless, their popular has resurged and "[t]he essays stand today as a compelling psychological portrait and an illustration of an important Fitzgerald theme" (Tracy Simmons).
