Oh, I love Wodehouse's Jeeves series.Overlook Press has released special editions of a bunch of Wodehouse's works, including quite a few Jeeves books. They're delicious not only for the delight of the actual text, but also the fact that they are hard-cover, cloth-bound, and feature swoon-worthy vintage-inspired cover art (see illustration provided). So even though they are a bit more pricey than a paper-back Penguin edition, I can't help but aim to collect them all.
In fact, I would love to find a way to make prints of the jacket art and hang them on my walls.
But anyway, book geekiness aside (I do have a little bit of a... problem... when it comes to buying books) you should all head to your wishlist / bookstore / library and try on at least one Jeeves book. So funny, so endearing.
