A touch of foxing on the edges of the text block; interior clean. Boards with occasional spotting, especially at the lower left portion of the front board. Spine a touch faded, but gilt bright. No writing or underlining. The original dust jacket is in uncommonly good condition with absolutely no restoration at all. Spine lightly faded, as usual. A little splitting at the jacket folds. Altogether an exemplary example of this American classic.

There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or of the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender is the Night-Inventory ID: 887 - 576 - 412 - 979 - 131
