Description: First American Edition. Anderson dustjacket art. "Psmith, the first of Mr. Wodehouse's most celebrated characters, is already known to the many thousands who have read Psmith in the City and Psmith, Journalist. But his earliest appearance has hitherto been unnoticed by the general public because it occurs in a school story, Mike. At the end of the first part of that book the hero, Mike Jackson, is removed from Wrykyn to the inferior establishment of Sedleigh, and on his first day there he meets Psmith, likewise a new boy, superannuated from Eton. From this point onwards Psmith dominates the scene, and it is this second part of Mike, a complete book in itself, which is reprinted here in an edition that should give it the independent status it deserves". Almost Near Fine, few small brown spots at page fore-edge, short ink address at front endpaper, in Very Good dustjacket, few small edge chips, short closed tears and shelf wear, spine ends nicked.

Publisher's orange cloth with black titles to spine, pictorial dust-jacket illustrated by Anderson. Reading lean, textblock browned. Jacket with some rubbing to edges, and chips to corners and head and tail of spine. Jacket flap clipped, but with the original price of $2.00 still showing. Very good. Using the same sheets as the A. and C. Black edition, this first US edition is a sequel to 'Mike at Wrykyn', which first appeared in 1953. The two contiguous stories were originally serialised in 'The Captain' magazine, then published together as 'Mike' in 1909. McIlvaine A12d.2.

Wodehouse, P. G.. ENTER PSMITH. Macmillan Co., New York, 1935.
Price: US$300.00 + shipping
Description: First U.S. edition. This copy was definitely printed with U.S. sheets as the copyright page states it was printed in the U.S., but it doesn't match bibliographer McIlvaine's description [A12d1]. We therefore assume it is an unrecorded variant--at least in our experience--of the first U.S. edition. Title page reads "ENTER | PSMITH" versus "ENTER PSMITH," and the note on the copyright page differs slightly from McIlvaine's description ("Printed . by" versus "Published .at"). Endpapers and page edges very faintly foxed, otherwise near fine in somewhat edgeworn dust jacket that is nonetheless attractive (spine slightly darkened, eighth-inch chipped from head affecting "ENTER" in title, closed horizontal tear near bottom of spine, small chip from base, rubbed chips at corners, creased closed tear at top of front panel affecting "PSMITH"). dust jacket price is $2.00.
