NOISBN . light wear to cloth at base of spine mild age-toning to page edges a nice clean copy; jacket chipped at top of spine with loss of small part of title a little less so at base of spine general wear at edges and corners spine slightly tanned. Anthology of three of Hatch's earlier novels published in the wake of the enormous success of his "My Man Godfrey" book and film blurbed on the front jacket panel "Author of.". The three are: "Five Days" 1933; "Spendthrift" 1936; and "A Couple of Quick Ones" 1928. Hatch was a pretty big deal in his day who wrote nearly 30 books and at one time was considered pretty much on a par as a comic novelist with P.G. Wodehouse with whom his work was often compared -- and yet as of February 2010 he has no Wikipedia entry of his own. This was the first book publication of "Spendthrift" by the way which also appeared as a novelette in Red Book Magazine the same year and was the source for the 1936 Raoul Walsh-directed film of the same name a racetrack comedy starring a young Henry Fonda. .
