Excerpt from front and back flaps of the dust wrapper: "A brief glimpse of the basic plot. Jeeves belongs to a club for butlers in London's fashionable West End, and one of the rules there is that every member must contribute to the club book everything about the fellow he's working for, the idea being that such information will help those seeking new employment. If a member is contemplating signing up with someone, he looks him up in the club book, and if he finds that he puts out crumbs for the birdies every morning and repeatedly saves golden-haired children from being run over by automobiles, he knows he is on a good thing. Whereas if the book informs him that the fellow habitually kicks starving dogs and throws his breakfast at his personal attendant, he is warned in time to steer clear. Some dull employers are given only a few lines in the club book, but Jeeves has penned eighteen pages about his employer, Bertie Wooster. And Bertie, quite understandably, is perturbed. Suppose the book falls into unscrupulous hands? The imagination boggles. Needless to say, that is exactly what does happen ....". Book. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Fine
