The Great Gatsby (SCARCE First State Collector's Reprints Facsimile FIRST EDITION Reprint with Original Matching Slipcase and NO LOGO on the jacket)

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Verlag: First Edition Library

First Editions Library is a series of exact facsimile replicas of the first editions published by Collector's Reprints, Inc. The First Edition Library is known for stunning reprints of classic books.but this one caused a bit of a problem! When this edition was first published by Collector's Reprints, they produced the dust jacket exactly with all of the first issue points. There was worry that some buyers might be confused (or fooled) that the jacket was the actual 1925 edition.so in later printings, "FEL" was added to the back flap. There were only 2500 produced of the original jacket (with no "FEL" logo) and they have a slipcase which opens on the right hand side.later printings have the opening on the left hand side. Since these jackets are so nice, they are prized by Fitzgerald collectors and don't often come up for sale. The NEAR FINE slipcase has the earlier "pasted on" artwork which matches the front and back of the jacket. There are a couple of very light smudges on the cream-colored back label. The opening for the book is on the right side. The NEAR FINE dust jacket is bright and complete. It has the same first edition points as the original! The NEAR FINE book is sturdy, crisp and clean with just a little wear on the spine ends (see photo). The only difference between this and the original is the rectangular box with the Collector's Reprints info on the copyright page. There is NOT a "Collector's Notes" card with this book.
