Dear FlatSigners!

We have the distinct honor of offering three of the greatest signed books we have ever owned to you on this Valentine's Day 2007!! The fabled story of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Zelda and the books left in their wake is the stuff of legend and a central part of 20th Century book-collecting. The popularity of 'The Great Gatsby' and the author himself has been a focal point of critics, fans and collectors for years. Signed books and letters from F. Scott or anyone close to F. Scott have all but dried up on the market. In fact, we can find no legitimate signed copies of 'The Great Gatsby' for sale anywhere on the market. A Signed First Printing would command $100,000 + on today's market and is going up in value year after year. Signed letters are now fetching $5,000.00 - $15,000.00!! We have just secured two books signed by F. Scott and a great First Printing copy (with all of the issue points) of 'The Great Gatsby' signed by Fitzgerald's mother!! The three books are sure to sell fast as collectors and investors have driven the scarcity of signed copies to an all-time high. With the stock market, the book market and the American economy looking good, these books are wonderful treasures that show all the signs of garnering great attention in the years to come.

Thank you all for registering at the new www.flatsignedlive.com , with your help we have and continue to change the world of collecting rare books and Americana.

For those VIP customers that have not registered, we welcome you to join us! Registration is free and no hidden fees!

Thank you for buying my books!

Warmest Regards,

LOVE AND LITERATURE
THIS VALENTINE'S DAY

 

Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald was one of the greatest and most influential authors of the 20th century, the self-styled spokesman of the "Lost Generation". Though he wrote only four novels and left a fifth unfinished, his works such as The Beautiful and the Damned and his masterpiece The Great Gatsby are considered literary classics. It was within his books that many were able to see his intense and somewhat tragic marriage to Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald drew largely upon his wife's personality in his writings, at times quoting direct segments of her personal diaries in his work. When Fitzgerald attained major success as a writer, they were regularly feted by the press, and elevated to celebrity status on a par with the biggest movie stars of the time. The financial difficulties of maintaining their opulent lifestyle finally took its toll in the late 1920s as Fitzgerald began to write commercial short stories to supplement their income. Also in 1930, Zelda began her descent into schizophrenia which made her emotional health fragile for the rest of her life. In 1934, Fitzgerald published his 4th novel Tender is the Night, which many critics considered his finest work and was largely based on he and his wife's own marriage and the darkest years of his life. Fitzgerald passed away in 1940 at the young age of 44 before completing his 5th novel and Zelda 8 years later in 1948. Theirs was a truly unique love story that may have inspired some of the greatest literature ever written!

FlatSigned Books is proud to offer 3 of the greatest books we have ever owned to you, our VIP customers.

 F SCOTT FITZGERALD SIGNED 1st All Sad Young Men

Assassination Report of the Warren Commission

Here is one of the greatest F. Scott Fitzgerald collectibles on the market! This First Edition copy of All The Sad Young Men has been hand SIGNED by Fitzgerald and features a long hand written inscription from Fitzgerald! Inscription reads: "For Lefty and Nora, the horse and the cart, the eye and the eyeball, the spleen and the heart, the tooth and the dentist, the wind and the weather - well that's quite enough to say you're together. F. Scott Fitzgerald." Nora and Maurice “Lefty” Flynn were personal friends of the Fitzgerald who lived in Tyron, NC, mountain area of western North Carolina was known at that time for the treatment of tuberculosis. Lefty was a football star at Yale and a movie actor. This book was perhaps a gift to them for their hospitality to him and his daughter Scottie.

Fitzgerald signed books are incredibly rare and have all but dried up on the market. To have one with this much of his own handwriting is truly special. It would be the centerpiece of any collection! The book is in great shape with standard bumping, rubbing, and overall wear for a book of this age.
