Oddly, although its one of my favorite early twentieth century books and I’ve spent 12 years working in the book world, I don’t remember ever having seen a first of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Tender is the Night in a dust jacket – until this morning. This beauty offered for sale by Joshua and Sunday over at B&B Rare Books (a couple of swell people and great booksellers, BTW).

Or, maybe I have seen it but didn’t notice it until this grey winter day – for which it provides perfect contrast.
