Well I just received my copy of Louder and Funnier which means I have only
one Plum work to go to complete the full set. As the missing volume is The
Globe "By the Way" Book, I fear it may never actually happen (it costing
more than I am prepared to pay), but there you go.

Well, The Globe By The Way is the "holy grail" of Wodehouse. An
original copy is probably impossible to get. I, at least, am fortunate
enough to have a copy of the facsimile edition (number 180 of a
limited 500). I've been collecting for quite a while, and have hard
cover editions of all the masters' books, most, but alas, not all with
original dust jackets, and in many cases both the British and American
editions. Many are first editions and many are not. I read the books
as often as I can without allowing reading them to the point of ennui.
I'll most often read one or two of the short stories, and if I'm off
on a vacation will take a favorite novel.

Good for you. I've read all the fiction books, but am daunted by the
general unavailability and price of much of the autobiographical work. (I
do wish there were a complete collection of the short stories.)
