This first edition of ‘The Great Gatsby’ is valued at $250,000. In honor of World Book Day today, fenellaart explains three reasons why. Does your own copy measure up? We’re excited to announce Book Week is back at Sotheby’s this June, with global sales taking place in Paris, London and New York. This particular edition comes from one of the most significant private libraries to appear at auction this century, that of Dr. Rodney P. Swantko. After you check your bookshelf, visit the link in bio to see more of the remarkable books and manuscripts in Dr. Swantko’s collection. #SothebysBooks #WorldBookDay #GreatGatsby #FScottFitzgerald
