The Vegetable, or from President to Postman
NY, Scribner, 1923. A play by Fitzgerald, written at the height of his popularity and the last book he published before his masterwork, The Great Gatsby. As a play it was assumed to have a much smaller market than his novels and its first printing, 7650 copies, reflected that: by comparison, The Beautiful and Damned, published the year before this book, had a first printing of 20,600 copies. A good copy only, with some insect damage to the inner front hinge and a loss of spine gilt, a tear in the cloth at crown, and with the rear panel of the dust jacket attached to the front pastedown.
