F. Scott Fitzgerald ALL THE SAD YOUNG MEN New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1926. First Edition, First Issue. The author's third collection features nine short stories. "The Rich Boy" contains one of Fitzgerald's most quoted passages: "Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand". As with his other collections, its release was timed to follow the completion of his most recent novel, The Great Gatsby. As nice a copy as we've ever seen. Hardcover with near-perfect dust jacket. 267 pages. 9-114-1275708 $7,500

Walt Whitman DEMOCRATIC VISTAS New York: J.S. Redfield, 1871. First Edition. Considered a major work of comparative politics and letters. Whitman expounds on the influence of the Louisiana Purchase on the American spirit, character, and body politic. He comments on the Industrial Revolution and the predecessors of Modernism, which chose restraint and rationality above emotion and feelings. Whitman condemned the corruption and greed of the Gilded Age, denouncing the post-Civil War materialism that had overtaken the country. “Never was there, perhaps, more hollowness at heart than at present, and here in the United States," he wrote. Paper wraps, 84 pages. 9-114-1275711 $4,000
