Printing Details
Reprint. Hardback in dustwrapper. 22 × 13cm, 231pp.
Signed to the title page by Richard Usborne, and with a warm personal inscription in the same hand to the ffep.
These nuggets from Wodehouse – phrases from his stories, wordplay, brilliant cameos of character – are all pure gold, minted by our greatest comic writer.
Evelyn Waugh once said that Wodehouse's books had 'three uniquely brilliant and entirely original similes to each page'. Whilst – for the lack of a pantechnicon – Richard Usborne has not been able to select all such examples, his superb anthology will give hours of enjoyment to anyone who has ever in their reading walked through the great gates of Blandings Castle, the doors of the Drones Club, or other paradisal portals of Wodehouseland – and just as many hours to those who have not.
Condition
The book itself is in very good condition. The dustwrapper is sun-faded to the spine and price-clipped but otherwise tidy.
