About This Item
London : Herbert Jenkins Ltd A near fine copy of the 5th printing in a very good dust wrapper. Undated but circa 1950. The binding is in maroon cloth with black titles. There is spotting at the top page edge. The wrap is complete and clean, and priced at 5/- on the spine. The spine is slightly darker than the panels and there is a small piece missing from the top edge close to the spine affecting the 'P' of P G Wodehouse. Otherwise there is light edge nibbling with slight loss to the flap fold edges and some surface scuffing down the folds. The latest title on the flap is Nothing Serious. On the verso of the wrap the spine is toned.
