Description: The Great Gatsby Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald Title: The Great Gatsby Description: Bantam, 1945. First paperback edition, first printing. Good condition with scarce original Fair dust jacket. The Bantam edition is the first paperback edition of the title offered for sale (preceded by an Armed Services Edition that was distributed outside of the normal book trade). The dust jacket, illustrated by Robert Skemp, was added to unsold copies to boost sales and promote the 1949 Paramount film featuring Alan Ladd. It is considered scarce and condition-sensitive.The jacket was designed to fit the Bantam third printing book issued in March 1946, which has a smaller spine than the first and second printings. As a result, jackets found on first and second printing books tend to have more wear and tear among surviving examples. Seller ID: 310734 This listing was created by Bibliopolis.
