Lacná kniha Cocktail Time (-90%)
This is an Uncle Fred novel. Frederick, Earl of Ickenham, remains young at heart. So it is for him the act of a moment to lean out of the Drones Club window with a catapult and ping the silk top-hat off his grumpy in-law, the distinguished barrister Sir Raymond Bastable. Unfortunately things don't end there. The sprightly earl finds that his action has inspired a scandalous bestseller and a film script - but this is as nothing compared with the entangled fates of the couples that surround him and which only his fabled sweetness and light can unravel.

Jeeves majd megoldja
"Mindazon bennszülött legények, vízilovak, orrszarvúak, pumák, zebrák, alligátorok és bivalyok, akikkel hosszú pályafutása során kapcsolatba került, hihetetlennek tartották volna, hogy MacHizik kapitány masszív állkapcsa képes úgy lefittyedni, mint egy szál főtt spárga, de most pontosan ez történt. Már-már szánni való volt, ahogy kerekre nyílt szeme, elszörnyedt tekintete az előtte álló két férfi arcát pásztázta.
- Azt mondja, fizetésképtelen?
- Ön dióhéjba foglalta az egészet, uram. Ki őlordsága erszényét ellopja, rongyot lop,"

Pan Galahad zasahuje
Opět jeden ze slunných příběhů P. G. Wodehouse, který se odehrává na zámku Blandings. Jeho majitel, lord Emsworth, sice není ve finanční tísni jako většina Wodehouseových šlechtických hrdinů, ale zato ho šikanují čtyři sestry. Navíc mu po mnohaletém šťastném vdovectví hrozí sňatek s ředitelkou dívčí školy, jeho vlastní pořádek v pracovně mu narušuje zrzavá sekretářka, kterou tam rozhodně nechce, a k tomu mu záhadně onemocní jeho milovaná výstavní prasnice, jež je jedinou živou bytostí, na níž mu skutečně záleží. Rád by žil na svém zámku jako prostý chalupník, to mu ale není přáno. Kromě příbuzných jej obtěžují turisté, které provádí nesympatický komorník Beach. Naštěstí žije na zámku i Galahad Threepwood, mladší bratr lorda Emsworthe. Galahad je pro jeho lordstvo přímo požehnáním, neboť vyřeší všechny jeho problémy, usmíří rozvaděné snoubence, čímž zbaví zámek Blandings přítomnosti zrzavé sekretářky, a jako protřelý bonviván a milovník veselého života zkušeně zasáhne tam, kde je to zapotřebí.

Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit
It was Bertie Wooster's opinion that the moustache he had recently allowed to sprout from his upper lip did something for him. Nor was he alone in this view; the moustache had other supporters among his circle of friends and no less an authority than Florence Craye had signified her approval of it. But there were some equally outspoken warriors in the opposing camp. Jceves did not approve of the new growth and expressed himself in such terms that some feeling of coolness between him and Bertram could not fail to result. Then the thunder-clouds began to gather from another direction and Wooster thought to face the impending crisis alone. But not so, Jeeves; he was not the man to allow a domestic tiff to come between him and the common enemy. The feudal spirit burned bright within him and he rallied to his master's cause as resourcefully and imperturbably as ever before. Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit is a novel in which Jeeves and Bertie Wooster return to the Wodehouse scene at the very top of their form.

Lacná kniha Joy in the Morning (-90%)
This book is a Jeeves and Wooster novel. Trapped in rural Steeple Bumpleigh, a man less stalwart than Bertie Wooster would probably give way at the knees. For among those present were Florence Craye, to whom Bertie had once been engaged and her new fiance 'Stilton' Cheesewright, who sees Bertie as a snake in the grass. And that biggest blot on the landscape, Edwin the Boy Scout, who is busy doing acts of kindness out of sheer malevolence. All Bertie's forebodings are fully justified. For in his efforts to oil the wheels of commerce, promote the course of true love and avoid the consequences of a vendetta, he becomes the prey of all and sundry. In fact only Jeeves can save him.

Lacná kniha The Clicking of Cuthbert (-90%)
A Golf collection. The Oldest Member knows everything that has ever happened on the golf course - and a great deal more besides. Take the story of Cuthbert, for instance. He's helplessly in love with Adeline, but what use are his holes in one when she's in thrall to Culture and prefers rising young writers to winners of the French Open? But enter a Great Russian Novelist with a strange passion, and Cuthbert's prospects are transformed. Then look at what happens to young Mitchell Holmes, who misses short putts because of the uproar of the butterflies in the adjoining meadows. His career seems on the skids - but can golf redeem it? The kindly but shrewd gaze of the Oldest Member picks out some of the funniest stories Wodehouse ever wrote.
