THE C OLLECTOR S

WODEHOUSE
Raise a glass as this is a time for celebration. The
Collectors Wodehouseall 99 titlesis complete!
Wodehouse was that perfect Anglo-American: his
subject was nearly always England, but he became an
American and lived on Long Island. The Collectors
Wodehouse series is itself a wonderful amalgam of British
and American cooperation, conceived by David
Campbell at Everymans Library in London and proudly
published in the U.S. by Overlook.
Wodehouse will always be part of our most joyous
reading experiences. The Collectors Wodehouse, now
complete, is the first full hardback series of Wodehouses
works by any one publisher. In every case, the editor has
gone back to the first edition of each book and corrected
errors that had crept into the innumerable paperback
editions. Each book has been re-typeset using that classic
English typface, Caslon. Further, these are printed on
acid-free paper, are sewn and bound in full cloth, and
have jacket art by the superb Andrzej Klimowski.
Three boxed sets, one on Jeeves, another
Blandings and a third soon celebrating Plums interest in
golf are published as an accompaniment to our
completion of The Collectors Wodehouse.
