[Rarebooks] FS - Jerome K. Jerome ALS

[GREENFIELD BOOKS]

In honour of the the birthday Sunday of  Jerome K. Jerome, author of 
/Three Men in a Boat (To say nothing of the Dog)/ we are pleased to 
offer what we believe to be a previously unknown letter, signed by the 
author.

It is written on one side of one page, the page measuring approx. 11 x 
17.5 cms, with "12 More's Garden, Cheyne Walk, S.W." printed in the top 
right corner. It is addressed to "My Dear Sir" and contains ten brief 
lines in Jerome's rather difficult handwriting in which he expresses a 
preference "for something from 'Second Thts' or from 'Three Men on a 
Bummel'"  (/Three Men on the Bummel/ was the sequel to /Three Men in a 
Boat/. It was published in America as /Three Men on a Bicycle/).

The letter is in very good condition, with only a touch of discoloration 
to the very bottom edge. The writing is strong and clear. It was kept 
between the covers of a reprint copy of  /Three Men on the Bummel /for 
many years.

We have observed that ephemera and hand-written notes from Jerome K. 
Jerome are currently being offered for between $800 and $4,000 by 
purveyors of literary autographs.
