THIS SIDE of PARADISE by F. Scott Fitzgerald 1st Edition 4th Printing Very Good popular Condition

This is a great find for a F. Scott Fitzgerald fan. This first edition is in overall very good condition for age. The dark blue boards are embossed in blind on the front and gilt on the spine. Some fraying to the upper spine and corners of boards. There is a front inscription with a hilarious "opinion" of the book. Evidently, Kenneth wasn't a fan. There are a few pencil marks/notes but not many at all--easily erasable. Binding is very good--no gutter cracks or loose pages. There are <1" tears on top of pages 25-38...page 38 has the worst tear at about 2". No other issues noted. 7.75"x5.5" 305 pages popular
