The Great Gatsby, 1st Edition

The Great Gatsby, 1st Edition

The Great Gatsby wasn’t a best-seller when it was released. The book received mixed reviews and no more than 25,000 copies were sold before F. Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940. Since that time, the Roaring Twenties tale of Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan has become a literary classic. A first edition, first printing inscribed by the author sold for $162,500 at a 2018 Heritage auction.
