presentation copy

Inscribed by the author to the half-title: 'To Philip Norman / Best wishes from / P.G. Wodehouse / May 13 - 1969'. The recipient was the author Philip Norman, best known for his biographies of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Buddy Holly and Elton John.

A vulnerable piece of book production, and although nothing approaching the rarity of The Globe By The Way Book, it is not common at all in collector's condition.

First edition, first impression, inscribed by the author; 8vo; b&w illustrations by C. Harrison; publisher's pictorial wrappers, some neat repair at the spine, a few smudges and scuffs, lower corner chipped; very good.
