Okay, here goes: the book's condition. Inscription clear and concise on front endpaper, cloth faded, showing moisture spots; gold printon spine very faded lower right-hand corner of front cover chipped with a noticeable bit of corner missingBook pages lightly tonedIndentation and/or chewing of inner lower left-hand inside gutter area of first five or six pages.Spine slip-cocked. Dust jacket tattered; old tape removed; and, somewhere along the years, acid-free,neutral pH conservation work performed on back, resulting in a reasonably appearing example ofthe second printing dust jacket. Otherwise, a charming example.
The third printing of this book is evident on Page 320,Line 17, wherein, "Charles Warren," becomes "Devereux Warren"
Shirley Chidsey married William Bridgewater after World War II. Bridgewater was the editor of the Columbia Encyclopedia. Shirley thenworked for Mrs. Alfred Knopf, and in this position met such authors as Norman Mailer.

Sinopsis
Tender is the Night was F. Scott Fitzgerald’s first novel in nine years (since The Great Gatsby in 1925) and his fourth and final to complete. The generally autobiographical work reflects events surrounding the hospitalization of Fitzgerald’s schizophrenic wife, Zelda, and his own unrelenting alcoholism. Tender is the Night was published in four issues of Scribner's Magazine (January — April) until Charles Scribner’s Sons produced the first novel edition in April 1934. The novel, whose title comes from John Keats’ “Ode to a Nightingale,” has two versions in print: the original, which uses flashbacks in the narrative, and the second, revised version, published posthumously by Malcolm Cowley, in which the storyline is restructured so that events take place chronologically. Some have suggested that this particular revision was in reaction to critics of the original. Tender is the Night sold only 12,000 copies in its first three months compared to Fitzgerald’s This Side of Paradise, which sold over 50,000 in a similar time period. Still, reception for Tender is the Night steadily grew over time. Today, it is ranked 28th on the Modern Library’s list of the “100 Best” English-language novels of the 20th century as well as 69th on NPR’s “100 Years, 100 Novels, One List.”
