Recently custom rebound by Campbell Logan Bindery in Minneapolis, MN, is the first printing of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'Tender is the Night'.
This
custom bound 6-month volume contains the first publishing of
Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night. The novel was serialized in four parts
by Scribner's Magazine within January - April, 1934 and later published
in book form in April of that year. His fourth and final completed
novel, Tender was Fitzgerald's darkest, and most auto-biographical -
paralleling his life with Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald. Illustrations by
Edward Shenton. Serialized magazine publications - such as this one -
are generally thought of as 'true first editions' because they are
printed and released before the final first book edition is available.
Overall, binding in fine condition - professionally rebound in November,
2013, utilizing the finest materials by skilled practitioners. "Tender is the Night remains Fitzgerald's most brilliant book. All his powers, the microscopic observation of the life he describes, the sense of the significance and relations of every detail of it, the infallible ear, and the gift of expression, all these things are here in greater abundance than ever before. Its scope is such as to make The Great Gatsby seem small and simple, for all its neatness and perfection, and its dramatic realization so complete that Fitzgerald need not ever say what is happening: we always see." -Arthur Mizener
