About This Item
Ventura, CA: Phantom Bookshop, 2011. This jacket is hand-produced and labeled as a facsimile dust jacket. I sell no more than 15-20 of these per year (if that) as they are labor-intensive. I am primarily an artist, and facsimile dust jackets are treated as artistic works made to the highest standards. - Thank you, John Anthony Miller, artist. A rendered facsimile dust jacket for the first edition book of "This Side of Paradise." The jacket was rendered by artist John Anthony Miller and archival ink and special paper were used. Jacket comes trimmed and enclosed in a Mylar jacket protector, ready to put on the book. The rear jacket flap states that this is a "Facsimile Dust Jacket" and my "JAM" monogram is also above that. On the verso of the jacket there is an affixed label stating that this is a facsimile dust jacket, signed by myself..
Synopsis
This Side of Paradise is the debut novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Published in 1920, and taking its title from a line of the Rupert Brooke poem Tiare Tahiti, the book examines the lives and morality of post-World War I youth. Its protagonist, Amory Blaine, is an attractive Princeton University student who dabbles in literature and has the book's theme of love warped by greed and status-seeking.
