No. 91195681
"Three Men in a Boat" by Jerome K. Jerome - J.W. Arrowsmith - 1889 first UK edition, with house number on title page - 15cmx13cm - condition: good, original publisher's binding, some wear and rubbing to boards.
Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog),[Note 1] published in 1889,[1] is a humorous novel by English writer Jerome K. Jerome describing a two-week boating holiday on the Thames from Kingston upon Thames to Oxford and back to Kingston. The book was initially intended to be a serious travel guide,[2] with accounts of local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a distraction to the comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers – the jokes have been praised as fresh and witty.[3]
The three men are based on Jerome himself (the narrator Jerome K. Jerome) and two real-life friends, George Wingrave (who would become a senior manager at Barclays Bank) and Carl Hentschel (the founder of a London printing business, called Harris in the book), with whom Jerome often took boating trips. The dog, Montmorency, is entirely fictional[2] but, "as Jerome admits, developed out of that area of inner consciousness which, in all Englishmen, contains an element of the dog".[3] The trip is a typical boating holiday of the time in a Thames camping skiff.[Note 2]
Following the overwhelming success of Three Men in a Boat, Jerome later published a sequel, about a cycling tour in Germany, titled Three Men on the Bummel (also known as Three Men on Wheels, 1900).

View translationGoed verpakt, snel verstuurd. Fraaie aanwinsten.
View translationI purchased the book on November 26. The seller never sent the book despite Catawiki tried to contact him. Just the worst seller I have ever dealt with. I am not used to write bad reviews, but this...
View translationThe book had been sent to you. Unfortunately, some tracking numbers had an error this week with postnl. I never received a message from you or catawiki until yesterday when it was stated that the transaction was cancelled, while never being notified by either you or catawiki beforehand. Since the book has been shipped to you, and you received an unilateral refund by catawiki, we'll have to arrange a shipment back to me or another payment. Sorry for the confusion.
Lousy salesman. One of the books was misdescribed. He said it had the illustrations restored; in reality they were in pieces. Shipping totally abusive. he charges double for a single package.
