A Very Good + copy of the First American edition (some small foxing spots to the boards, foxing to top of page block) in a Very Good + dust jacket (mild toning and modest edge wear, small red stain on inside of rear panel with some light associated wrinkling -- a nicer dust jacket than often is found on either the US or UK First). A (then) new Jeeves novel, published in Celebration of P. G. Wodehouse's 90th birthday. A funny tale about a book kept at a club to which Jeeves belongs. All members of the Club are required to contribute everything about the fellow for whom he works for the benefit of other Butlers who may, in the future, seek employment from the gentleman described. While many entries are short, Jeeves' entries on Bertie Wooster run to 18 pages. Bertie fears that the tales will fall into the wrong hands, and then, of course, it does. The novel was simultaneously published in Great Britain as "Much Obliged, Jeeves". A nice copy of a delightful Jeeves novel.

A Fine copy of the Advance Uncorrected Reader's Proof in the Publisher's original card covers and original tape spine. In our experience, a rather uncommon Proof of this book from Gonzo Journalism's creator. A collection of writings about Thompson's past with a focus on rebellion -- a sort of Gonzo autobiography. SCARCE.

A Near Fine copy (quite minor shelf wear and light rubbing to spine ends and board tips, minor fading to topstain) in a Fine, richly-colored dust jacket (light toning and some minor edge wrinkling to rear panel, minor rubs at spine ends). Herlihy's second, and most prominent novel, the story of a naive Texan who makes his way to New York City determined to work as a prostitute servicing a wealthy clientele, an endeavor in which he fails to achieve his goal, taking instead work serving gay men. The book provided the basis for the highly-successful 1969 John Schlesinger film of the same name, starring Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight. The movie won three Academy Awards (Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Writing -- Adapted Screenplay), with Hoffman and Voight each receiving nominations for Best Actor. (John Wayne won the award for his performance in True Grit.) A very nice, Near Fine, copy.
