ext_12391: queer slugs (jeeves and wooster)
[identity profile] m-shell.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] indeedsir_backup
I was browsing in one of my favorite used bookshops this weekend and found a fantastic gem - a set of six 1930s Wodehouse books (two Jeeves and Wooster, four not) bound in an amazing color of orange faux leather, with gold-stamped bindings, for US$10 each. And a bonus red-bound, gilt-stamped Wodehouse collection edited by Ogden Nash, which was US$12.50.

See how pretty they are?

I think I just peed a little bit.

Why don't my used bookshops ever have any Wodehouse? I'd even be happy to see a beat up paperback.

The copy of The Code of the Woosters that I checked out from my school's library was one of these. Returning it was sort of difficult. :(

Lucky D: I found a first edition J&W at an old bookstore in Northumberland but of course I wasn't carrying any money. Almost cried on the spot.

I can never find books of this quality in the used shops I've been to, let alone anything by Wodehouse.

You Sir/Madam, have my envy.
