Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Very Good plus unclipped dust jacket with fading to the spine. This collection of letters between Fitzgerald and his longtime editor at Scribners--Max Perkins--records their relationship from 1919 to 1940. As these letters reveal, the novelist and his editor had a hi…ghly productive correspondence, allowing Fitzgerald to bounce big-picture ideas off Perkins and exchange reams of literary gossip. Fitzgerald tends toward the earnest and apologetic: "If I ever win the right to any liesure [sic] again I will assuredly not waste it as I wasted this past time. Please believe me when I say that now I'm doing the best I can." And Perkins tends toward the downright prescient: "At any rate, one thing I think, we can be sure of: that when the tumult and shouting of the rabble of reviewers and gossipers dies, 'The Great Gatsby' will stand out as a very extraordinary book.".
