About this title

From the Inside Flap:

"The catalogue is a fascinating annotated inventory of the abundance of materials pertaining to F. Scott Fitzgerald gathered over a lifetime by Matthew J. Bruccoli, whose scholarly contributions to the appreciation of that novelist have enlightened and exhilarated all of us who revere Fitzgerald as a literary artist, an ever-inspiring master of the American language."—Thomas Berger

"An indispensable guide to one of the greatest literary collections in America—if not anywhere. Matthew J. Bruccoli’s introduction, all about book collecting, by itself is worth the price of admission."—John Jakes
