From CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform : My Man Jeeves before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised My Man Jeeves:

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Oversized, skimpy, odd format for classic storiesBy Rhode RedI'm a ginormous Wodehouse fan, but not a fan of this particularly-published volume. It's nothing more than 8 Wodehouse stories printed on 8 1/2 x 11 paper with a cover slapped on. There's no copyright info (OK I guess these must not be covered by copyright anymore, but surely a 'first published in' date and info would be appropriate?) There's no introduction. There's no author information. There's nothing.The cover is cute-ish, a faux leather print. But there is no title on the slender spine of the book. So, if you shelve this, you will forget what it is. And 8 1/2 x 11 is an awkward size for such a thin book. You can't fit it into a handbag, it looks out of place on a shelf with shorter books, and it doesn't have the heft to be shelved with coffee table books. It's just ... odd.There are better compilations of these stories out there. There are also compilations with many more stories included. I bought this in a hurry and will not get another copy.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great ComedyBy C.L. MershonThis little collection of P.G. Wodehouse is fantastic. I picked this up after hearing that it was one of both Christopher Hitchen's and Doug Wilson's favorite authors (Check out COLLISION: Christopher Hitchens vs. Douglas Wilson). I was so intrigued by this that I had to pick up a copy.What one will find inside is a collection of eight stories; four of which feature the now iconic Jeeve's/Wooster duo and all of which feature the fantastic and hilarious situations that one who is totally oblivious to their surroundings can get themselves into. These stories are the type that are funny because the situations are so real and/or similar to ones we have, ourselves, suffered through. Take the following for instance:"Lady Milvern was a hearty, happy, healthy, overpowering sort of dashed female, not so very tall but making up for it by measuring about six feet from the O.P. to the Prompt Side. She fitted into my biggest armchair as if it had been built around her by someone who know they were wearing armchairs tight about the hips that season. She had bright, bulging eyes and a lot of yellow hair, and when she spoke she showed about fifty-seven front teeth..... Altogether by no means the sort of thing a chappie would wish to find in his sitting room before breakfast" - pg. 35The stories are filled with this stuff. Just Awesome!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Simply enjoy!By CustomerWodehouse's playfully light humour and his unique characters from another era make his work a great joy to read, to the point of pure escapism - and why not? We all need a break from reality once in a while! Dopey young lazybones and his clever valet Jeeves who always saves the day for him and his equally dopey friends have become legendary, and for a good reason. A good old-fashioned read without any deeper meaning, but with lots and lots of fun and laughter!

My Man Jeeves is a collection of short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom in May 1919 by George Newnes. Of the eight stories in the collection, half feature the popular characters Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, while the others concern , an early prototype for Wooster. Although the book was not published in the United States, all the stories had appeared there, mostly in The Saturday Evening Post or Collier's Weekly, and in the Strand in the UK, prior to the publication of the UK book. Several appeared later in rewritten form in Carry on, Jeeves (1925), such as "Helping Freddie", which in its later incarnation was called "Fixing It for Freddie" and featured .

"All the voices are done by the excellent . . . Jarvis himself is fantastic." -- Frank Behrens, unknown date"Pairs Jarvis’ smooth rendition… with five Jeeves stories about the quietly comic valet. A fine introduction even newcomers will relish." -- Library Bookwatch, Feb 2003"This enjoyable set is performed flawlessly and with great verisimilitude by Broadway’s Jeeves, Martin Jarvis." -- AudioFile Apr/May 2003About the AuthorP. G. Wodehouse (1881 1975) spent much of his life in Southampton, New York, but was born in England and educated in Surrey. He became an American citizen in 1955. In a literary career spanning more than seventy years, he published more than ninety books and twenty film scripts, and collaborated on more than thirty plays and musical comedies.From AudioFileBoswell and Johnson, Watson and Holmes . . . Wooster and Jeeves? Yes, another inseparable duo, this one linked by bonds of need and comedy. Here, we find the ever cool and capable gentleman's gentleman Jeeves pulling the hapless Bertie Wooster's fat from the fire time and again in classic style. A motley clutch of buffoons accompanies Jeeves's accounts of Wooster's misunderstandings, gaffes, and backfiring plans. This enjoyable set is performed flawlessly and with great verisimilitude by Broadway's Jeeves, Martin Jarvis.
