About This Item
New York Chicago: A. L. Burt Company, 1932. Reprint. Pictorial cloth. Very Good/Good. Small 8vo, decorative black cloth with red lettering on spine and front cover with large man's image repeated from dust jacket, illustrated title page, frontispiece, and 5 plates with captions by Rea Irvin, archival mylar-protected pictorial dust jacket (price-clipped) depicting a heavyset man clicking champagne glasses with another man, 307 pages. Sir P[elham] G[renville] Wodehouse KBE (1881 - 1975) was a beloved English author who was one of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century. They include jolly gentleman of leisure, Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet Jeeves; the immaculate and loquacious Psmith; Lord Emsworth and the Blandings Castle set; the Oldest Member, with stories about golf; and Mr Mulliner. UNCOMMON edition with so complete a pictorial dust jacket. Solid copy with uniform age-toning. Surprisingly complete dust jacket with some soil, considerable wear, fading (especially affecting the hard-to-read title), and a large loss around the top of the dj's spine.
