The Vegetable, or from President to Postman. New York: Scribner's,1923
8vo (7 1/2 x 5 1/8 ins; 190 x 130 mm). Publisher's green linen-like cloth with gilt spine title; bright, tight copy. Pictorial dust-jacket by John Held, Jr; some creasing at spine ends, short closed tears to edges, folds a little rubbed. Original dust jacket.
First edition of Fitzgerald's only drama. A flop from its 19 November 1923 opening night, with people heading up the aisles up during the second act, either bored or or as Zelda suggested, offended by a "sacreligious" mention of the bible.
