Wodehouse, P.G : Service With a Smile

Herbert Jenkins, 1962

The boards are only a touch rubbed, but remain strong and square. The dust jacket is rubbed and worn, with a few small chips and closed tears along the edges, the largest chip cutting through the author's name on the spine. Aside from this, the jacket remains bright and intact, and is preserved in plastic covering. Internally, a previous retailer's book plate can be found on the front pastedown, and there is a previous owner's signature on the front end page. The pages within are crisp and complete. However, they are quite badly foxed throughout. This does not impede the legibility of the text in any way, and the book is still lovely and solid. The binding remains tight. JV.Nor..
