Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No DJ as issued-Tight, clean and unmarked-Quarter-bound in black cloth on blue cloth; lettered in black on the front panel and decorated in gilt on the spine; blue end papers-" I finished reading it, but he didn't finish writing it. He died before he was halfway through his plans for the book. Still, what we have is immensely entertaining, full of inside info on the way Hollywood functioned in the mid-30s, and some typically Fitzgeraldian male/female interaction. I became swept up in the narrative to the point that even though I knew the dead stop was coming, I gasped when I got there. The summaries of his plot ideas, and notes he had made on characters and incidents were pretty fascinating. "--Steve.

First Edition
Novelist Nancy Hallinan's personal copy with her underlining and marginalia amongst the book's text. First printing, first edition (per publisher's "A" upon copyright page). xii, 476 pages. Hardcover: H 21.5cm x L 14.75cm. Only a partial dust jacket present lacking the front panel and spine; now folded horizontally more-or-less at their centers and laid-in at front endpapers are the front flap along with rear panel and its adjoining rear flap all of which have edge chips and tears as well as varied toning, soiling, and creasing. Blue cloth rubbed, spine lightly faded with some fraying to nicks and short tears at ends, spine's gilt stamping slightly dulled in comparison to the front board's still bright gilt stamping. Reddish-brown top edge loses its color towards fore-edge corner; usual age toning to fore-edge and bottom edge. Endpapers toned; five-line Christmas 1941 gift inscription in ink to "Nan" [author Nancy Hallinan] at top of front free endpaper; a few page corners creased. Nancy Hallinan's ink underlining and margin marks/notes appear to be limited to the text of "The Last Tycoon" and "The Great Gatsby" as no markings are present within Edmund Wilson's Foreword on pages ix-xi, and, upon a quick perusal, no markings are found within the book's concluding short stories "May Day," "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," "The Rich Boy," "Absolution," and "Crazy Sunday." Binding mildly shaken between front flyleaf and half-title but otherwise still reasonably firm. A fair copy. Also laid-in at front endpapers are two clippings regarding F. Scott Fitzgerald, an essay from a July 3, 2000 New Yorker and a December 24, 2000 New York Times Book Review article. Nancy Hallinan (1921-2014) authored the critically acclaimed novels "Rough Winds of May" (1955), "A Voice from the Wings" (1965), and "Night Swimmers" (1976) as well as the 1980 O'Henry award winning short story "Women in a Roman Courtyard." Her papers are held by Boston University's Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center.
