Descrizione

8vo., Second Impression; original orange cloth, upper board framed and lettered in black, backstrip blocked and lettered in black, light age-fade on upper board else a remarkably bright, crisp, clean copy. With 8pp of publisher's advertisements at end. Dedicated to E Phillips Oppenheim, this is the third collection of Wooster & Jeeves short stories. It contains eleven tales including some of their most famous adventures. Published in the same year as the first UK edition (the US edition was published some three weeks earlier). The UK edition contains an extra Preface by Plum, together with three textual changes. Here one of Tuppy Glossop's most notorious capers is retitled 'The Ordeal of Young Tuppy' - clearly a great improvement on the 'Tuppy Changes His Mind' of the US edition. Connolly 48(i); Jasen 43a (recording the first edition); McIlvaine A42b.2.
