About This Item
New York: A.L. Burt Company, 1933. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. First American edition. (First issue with stated "First edition" on copyright page. Unusually, reprint house A.L. Burt was the first American publisher to issue the book. Doubleday, Doran and Company, who are mentioned on the title page, never actually issued the book.) 283 pp. Orange cloth with black lettering. Very Good, lacking dust jacket. Spine a bit sunned and cocked, corners bumped. A solid copy.
Features the story "Extricating Young Gussie", the world's introduction to the characters of Jeeves and his master, Bertie, as well as Aunt Agatha. It was originally published in magazine form in 1915 and in book form in the UK in 1917. The American edition took many years to arrive, and eventually did so in this unusual edition.
