The Vegetable, or From President to Postman

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1923. Held, John. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine / No Jacket. Item #2344831

First edition. Lacks scarce jacket. Ink gift note on front endpaper, minimal loss of gilt from spine titles.

145, [7] pp. 8vo. A play developed from a short story. It was Fitzgerald's only play, and was published two years before The Great Gatsby, which was his most popular work. Scribner printed 7650 copies, but the play was not a commercial success, despite showcasing Fitzgerald's facility with dialogue. Still a must for the serious Fitzgerald collector.

Price: $275.00
