Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1941. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. First edition. The top edge a little soiled, still fine in attractive, very good dustwrapper with light nicks at the spine ends. A humorous novel about a skinflint English Lord, his discovery of a philatelitic rarity, and his attempts to sell it to an American businessman, written by an English-born, San Francisco-based rare bookseller, who collected P.G. Wodehouse first editions, and here evidently tries to emulate him. (Inventory #: 74341)
