Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. First edition. 417pp. Octavo [21 cm] Blue cloth over boards. Mild rubbing to the extremities. Gift inscription on the front free endpaper. In a price-clipped dust jacket illustrated by John Held Jr. The jacket is torn in three pieces and has a loss from the rear flap. The Utah artist, John Held Jr., was one of the best known magazine illustrators of the 1920s, and his designs for F. Scott Fitzgerald jackets became icons of the Jazz Age. From the dust jacket- "A collection of almost fifty pieces by both American and foreign authors, The Pleasures of the Jazz Age is a comprehensive, representative, and entertaining picture of what was perhaps one of the most fabulous periods of modern times." Visually, nothing evokes that era as intensely as a John Held Jr. illustration, of which this dust jacket is an excellent example.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. First edition. Quarto. Blue, red, and silver embossed buckram. 320pp. Heavily illustrated. Rear hinge tender, and a little rubbing, but near fine. The editor's own copy with his name embossed on the front cover. A beautifully conceived college yearbook with distinctive streamlined Art Deco design, and which is dedicated to iconic Jazz Age artist John Held, Jr. Laid in is a Typed Letter Signed from the college president congratulating Medders on a job well-done, a certificate of award made out to Medders, several sheets of stationery for the book, and a portrait of the yearbook staff. More importantly, the dedicatee, John Held, Jr., the greatest cartoon chronicler of the era's flapper co-eds and their Jazz Age "sheiks," is featured in a full-page photograph (credited to the prestigious New York photographer Apeda). The original 8" x 10" photograph, Signed by Held, is laid into the book opposite his portrait. Apparently his duties as dedicatee were limited to choosing the toothsome co-ed who was featured in the book as "Queen of the Book of the Future." Unique.
