Romance Prescribed

[nice clean copy, very light wear to extremities, slight age-toning to page edges; jacket a little rubbed, light soiling to rear panel, with a diagonal double-crease in the upper left-hand corner of the front panel, cutting across the title]. "A romance of love on Long Island, of sophisticated wit . the gay story of an exceedingly serious young man, who needed a whole bucket full of romance and who found it in a series of madcap adventures." Early novel by the author of "My Man Godfrey," who had only taken up writing in 1928 after retiring from his father's banking firm. "His great interest in life," claims the jacket blurb, " is boats -- and when he was last heard of the crew of one of his boats had deserted, the Jap servant had broken up the engine with a hammer, the out-board motor had sunk and -- but in other words the locale of [this book] is his own."
