The Beautiful and Damned de Fitzgerald, F. Scott - 1922

Toronto: The Copp, Clark Co. Limited, 1922. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 8vo. First Canadian edition, from the sheets of the American first issue. "B" cloth, green, linen-like grain with gilt titles on the spine and blind stamped titles to the front board. Light bumping to the spine ends, pencil notes and name to front endpaper, else clean throughout and in very good condition. The scarce Canadian issue jacket present, with several old pieces of tape to some inside edges, including to the spine head holding a piece in place, quite fragile. Damp stain to the jacket around the spine foot, with chips to the corners and rear upper corner, 6cm tear in one flap fold, spine darkened and the front cover affected by a little stain and some edge-wear around the top. Very scarce in the Canadian issue, and more so with the dust jacket. Bruccoli A 8.I.b.
