Trimalchio by F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Facsimile Edition of the Original Galley Proofs for the Great Gatsby Tapa dura - 2000

Columbia: University of South Carolina Press in cooperation with the Thomas Cooper Library, 2000. First Edition. Fine. Limited to 500 copies, this is stamped "review copy" on the limitation page. Includes both the original copyright page and the corrected version, along with a printed note from the publisher. A facsimile of the only extant set of unrevised galleys of Trimalchio, the novel later published as The Great Gatsby. The galleys differ importantly, and often extensively, from the 1925 first edition: two-thirds of the galleys vary at least in a sentence or two from the printed text; about one-half show major changes (paragraph deletions or additions, altered dialogue, etc.); and blocks of material in a few galleys have been left out of the book entirely. Includes an afterword, notes, and a postscript by Matthew J. Bruccoli. Folio. Unbound (24" x 6"), and housed in the publisher's two-part box. Light bit of wear to the box; else fine.

In overall good condition, no pages missing. Shipping can take between 2-6weeks for international deliveries. Hardback copies may or may not have dust jackets, please get in contact for more information.
