What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first US edition, first impression of this humorous P.G. Wodehouse novel, first published in the UK the year prior.
In the publisher's original price clipped dust wrapper.
Though the plot remains the same, the UK and US editions differ significantly, with Wodehouse rewriting and editing the length of the US edition.
A movie mogul, women's hockey player and Hollywood starlet are about the luxurious ocean liner the S.S. Atlantic alongside the amiable Monty Bodkin, the nephew of Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe, who had previously appeared in Wodehouse's 'Heavy Weather'.
