WODEHOUSE, P. G.. My Man Jeeves.. London: George Newnes, [1919], 1919.
Price: US$2566.53 + shipping
Description: First edition, first impression, of the first collection of short stories starring Jeeves and Wooster. Jeeves had previously appeared in a minor role in the short story "Extricating Young Gussie", collected in The Man with Two Left Feet (1917), but in this collection he takes centre stage. Four of the eight stories here feature Jeeves and Bertie, while the others feature Reggie Pepper, an early prototype for Wooster. This copy has the correct points for the first impression: two pages of advertisements bound at the rear and the front cover unlettered. The second impression was printed on thicker paper and issued the following year without the terminal advertisements, in a slightly redder binding with the front cover lettered in black. McIlvaine A22a. Small octavo. Original pink-brown cloth, spine lettered in black, front cover decorated in blind, 2 pp. of publisher's advertisements at rear. Bookseller's ticket to rear pastedown. Spine slightly sunned, a couple of light marks to cloth, tiny nicks to extremities, contents mildly toned but clean. A very good copy.
