F Scott Fitzgerald -- Biggest Books in the World -- October 21, 2022

New York Herald, 01-October-1922

F Scott Fitzgerald's second collection of short stories, Tales of the Jazz Age, made its debut in September 1922. The image in the ad is from John Held, Jr's design for the dust jacket.

While few stories from this collection were made into movies, Warner Brothers was promoting their upcoming adaption of his second novel, The Beautiful and Damned

I like the "huge float" advertising upcoming Warner Brothers productions based on popular novels.

A closer view of the "huge float," and a promise of thousands of huge posters that would be pasted all over the country.
