The Great Gatsby, a timeless classic by F. Scott Fitzgerald, comes in a stunning new hardback edition to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the author’s passing. This exquisite rendition captures the essence of the Jazz Age, inviting readers into the opulent world of Jay Gatsby, a man shrouded in mystery and allure.
Set against the backdrop of the Roaring Twenties, The Great Gatsby tells the story of extravagant parties at Gatsby's lavish Long Island estate, where the elite gather to revel in indulgence. Yet, amidst the glamour lies a profound sense of longing and disillusionment as Gatsby yearns for a dream that remains just out of reach.
This new edition not only preserves Fitzgerald's razor-sharp wit and keen observations but also enhances the reading experience with:
The narrative's exploration of ambition, love, and the American Dream resonates as powerfully today as it did at its original publication, making it an essential addition to any literary collection. The Great Gatsby has not only received critical acclaim but is also regarded as one of the greatest American novels of the 20th century.
Whether you're revisiting this literary treasure or discovering it for the first time, this hardback edition promises to evoke the same intoxicating magic that has captivated readers for generations.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
