GOOD to VERY GOOD
CONDITION
This sale is for a
vintage hardback edition entitled “The
Luck of the Bodkins,” by P. G. Wodehouse
(1881-1975).
It was published
by Herbert Jenkins Limited, of London, and is the second printing, circa 1936
(the FIRST EDITION was published in 1935).
The list of titles available by the author at the time included Young
Men In Spats (1936) as well as many earlier titles.
Monty’s wooing of
Gertrude Butterwick was not progressing as it should, and the cause of all the
trouble was Miss Lotus Blossom, the brightest star in
“Mr. Wodehouse
gets, if possible, better and better.” – Observer
“Extravagantly
ingenious and brilliantly farcical.” – The
Times
The book measures
7.5 inches x 5.25 inches x 1.25 inches and has 311 pages.
The book is in
good, neat condition for its age, with minor wear and is a little grubby to the
original cloth hardback cover, with a little light foxing near the covers. There
are NO inscriptions/book-plates and NO other ink or pencil markings in the
book. The binding is good with no loose or missing pages. There is no dust-jacket.
A wonderful
vintage edition.

Unwinsbooks have held down shipping prices
from 2013-2020 in spite of small increases in postage costs. However, Royal Mail Prices dramatically
changed on 1 July 2020, as a result of exceptional cost increases outside of their
control, so we are reluctantly having to pass on pricing increases for parcels being
sent overseas (primarily USA, New Zealand, Australia and the Rest of the World).
These costs are a direct result of:
“Royal Mail, always aim to deliver the best
value international services. We fully recognise that these changes are
significant. This was a decision we reluctantly took but is necessary in view
of the increased costs borne by Royal Mail.”
If the Royal Mail reduce their charges in
the future (in particular what they term “Temporary Air Carrier Supplement Pricing”)
unwinsbooks will reduce the international costs accordingly.
Unwinsbooks always
obtain a proof of postage receipt from the Royal Mail. Packages over Royal Mail size rules may be
sent by courier (customer will be informed).
Goods will be WELL PACKAGED by Unwins Books
and dispatched once payment has cleared.
