Oblong quarto, 42pp., illustrated. A good copy only, with wear to the corners and the fragile spne and hinges loosened, though still a sound copy. A sticker is applied to the top corner of the front free endpaper. A wonderful example, SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Taylor on the front free endpaper: ""For the Old Master, a small return for Jeeves. Deems Taylor."" Considering the Jeeves reference, the ""Old Master"" could be none other than P. G. Wodehouse, who was--and still is--called ""Master"" or sometimes ""The Old Master"" by his ardent fans. Wodehouse had a short, but influential career in the 1910s on Broadway as a lyricist, and maintained a love of music and musical comedy throughout his life; a passion that no doubt brought him in contact with people like Deems Taylor. Despite is worn state, a copy with a pleasing association.
