With The Love Hypothesis currently streaming, now's the time to pick up the book that started it all. What began as a Star Wars fan fiction became a love story set between lab coats and grant proposals, where a fake relationship between a PhD candidate and her professor was only ever supposed to be for show.

Happy Birthday, F. Scott Fitzgerald! Born 130 years ago in 1896, Fitzgerald was still a student at Princeton when he wrote his first novel under the title The Romantic Egotist. Editor Maxwell Perkins at Scribner's championed the manuscript, and it was published as This Side of Paradise in 1920, in a first printing of just 3,000 copies. By the end of the following year, it had been reprinted twelve times.

This first edition retains its original dark blue-green cloth and the scarce original dust jacket, housed in a custom half morocco chemise case.
