A CLOSER LOOK

The Details: This 1982 Franklin Library edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece brings the Jazz Age to life with sophisticated quarter-leather craftsmanship and ornate 22kt gold hubbed spine accents. Featuring archival-quality paper and elegant all-edges gilt, this volume is designed to be a centerpiece in any serious literary collection. The tactile quality of the textured boards and the classic silk ribbon marker make this a premium reading experience for the discerning bibliophile.

CONDITION BREAKDOWN

I grade strictly so there are no surprises when you open the box.

• Exterior/Box: The burgundy quarter-leather spine and cloth boards are in very good shape with sharp corners and bright gold leaf; very light shelf wear present.
• Item/Media: Binding is tight and square; internal pages are clean, crisp, and free of markings.
• Flaws: Minor tarnishing/scuffing to the gold gilt on the page edges consistent with age; silk ribbon shows light fraying at the tip.
