Wodehouse (P.G.) My Man Jeeves, first edition, 2pp. advertisements, original salmon-pink cloth, slight bumping to corner tips, small patch of cockling to lower cover, else fine, dust-jacket, very light toning to spine, spine ends and corners a little chipped, just touching imprint at foot of spine, spotting to upper panel, short tear to upper fore-edge, a few neat tape repairs to verso, an excellent example overall, slip-case, [McIlvaine A22a], 8vo, [1919].

⁂ The first Jeeves and Wooster book, Wodehouse's most enduring characters. McIlvaine identified copies in a dustjacket priced at 1s 9d as constituting the first issue of the first edition, but the copy illustrated in her bibliography is believed to be the only surviving example. Copies of this second issue of the first edition in an identical dust-jacket other than the change of price to 2s are also very rare, particularly in an unrestored state.
