Black lettering against deep red cloth. The front hinge is a little fragile at the pastedown, but otherwise the book is tight and the pages are generally clean with no inscriptions; in a very good example of an exceptionally rare dustwrapper, that has a closed tear to the front panel and a few nicks and chips but is otherwise delightfully well preserved, as shown in the images. Housed in a custom made clamshell box, included in sale. This is the first English edition - as the contents were originally published in the United States under the title 'Their Mutual Child' - and all issue points corroborate with McIlvaine A23b.

This is one of the problem Wodehouses, and divides opinion, and it seems the McIlvaine entry regarding the dust wrapper is open to some debate; the true first most likely had a red framed back panel, rather than green. I understand that there are perhaps one or two of such wrappers surviving, held in private collections. So the chances of obtaining the alleged true first are exceedingly slim.…

Store description
At N V we aim to provide the collector with high quality books whilst offering a service that is friendly and helpful. We tend to keep our stock low, concentrating on titles that appeal to us. We offer books that are in collectable condition only: grading 'very fine' where realistic, 'fine' or 'near fine' or 'very good'. We NEVER sell ex-library copies or books described in 'good' (in other words 'poor') condition. EVERY listing has a sharp digital image of the EXACT book that you are perusing - the accompanying description is carefully written and we guarantee that all items are authentic. Books with dustwrappers have removable protective covers and all our stock is stored away from light and dust in a temperature controlled environment. Should you decide to purchase from us your book will be wrapped with care and then housed in a robust box before despatch. …

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
