Great Gatsby!
One
of the great joys in our line of work is being close to lots of
different types of treasures and interesting items. It is sad to say
sometimes we see so many cool items it takes something very special
to truly wow us (#Coolfind). Being long time lovers of books and
seeing so many books on a regular basis this definitely rings true in
the book arena. In our book inventory at this time we are very proud
of a couple of truly fantastic gems. We currently have available an
inscribed Harry S. Truman biography, several first editions/signed
Tom Wolfe novels, a signed Allen Ginsberg, some very neat collectible
kids books and too many other signed/first editions to list here.
Our most recent find was able to take my breath away. We have dug up
a true piece of American literature history and now making it
available for purchase. When it was first spotted my heart raced. I
thought to myself “this will be a later printing”, no way will it
be a first edition and a first printing. I gently picked it up and
opened the front boards tenderly searching for the title page and
copyright page. Upon arriving to my destination I noticed the date
and then the Scribner seal. What we had found was a first edition and
first printing of Fitzgerald's “The Great Gatsby”
(#GreatGatsby). After getting it back to the office and researching
it a little further making sure all the first edition points were
present, it was time to be wowed. I was holding a first edition
(#1sted) of the third novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It felt amazing!
The work originally sold only around 20,000 copies and was
originally considered to be a huge commercial flop. It was not
until after his death in the 1940's that the worked picked up steam
becoming a true American classic. Our copy like most other found is
missing the iconic and highly sought after dust jacket. Others are
selling theirs with facsimile jackets, but we have decided to sell it
as it was found. It has so much character and charm just the way it
is we do not want to spoil it. Enjoy!

O. Henry
When one loves one's Art no service seems too hard.
-O. Henry
On this day in 1910 North Carolina writer O.Henry passed away in NYC. Born William Sydney Porter in Greensboro in 1862 he was best known by his pen name. Literary historians believe this pen was chosen to honor a childhood pet. The legendary writer is famous for his clever "O. Henry Endings" and short stories. Located on HWY 150, just around the block from our booth @ Golden Antiques and Treasures, is the Saunders Inn. This old structure is where O. Henry's grandfather, while traveling, stopped for a stay. He was asked by Saunders to stay permanently to help teach the local children. He later moved into Greensboro to raise his own family. #OHenry #VintageVagabonds #SummerfieldNC
