Item description from seller

Handsomely bound in finely-woven green cloth stamped brightly in gold on the spine. Later edition with the Scribner's Seal on the copyright page and with "Printed March and April, 1922,making this the 3rd printing. Very clean and tight throughout with only a touch of rubbing to the extremities. A collectible copy and a pleasant place-holding one. The Beautiful and Damned, first published by Scribner's in 1922, is F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel. It portrays the Eastern elite during the Jazz Age, exploring New York cafà society. As in Fitzgerald's other novels, the characters are complex, especially with respect to marriage and intimacy. The book is believed to be largely based on Fitzgerald's relationship with Zelda Fitzgerald. The novel tells the story of Anthony Patch, a 1910s socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon's fortune, his relationship with his wife, Gloria, his service in the army, and his alcoholism. (Wikipedia). First Edition, reprinted March and April 1922.
