Condition: NEAR FINE. First edition. The first combined edition of Potter's series of humorous books on how to secure an unfair advantage.

These books were adapted for the cinema in the 1960s ('School for Scoundrels' adapted by Peter Ustinov, recapitulates many of the 'one-up' ideas) and later for television in the 1970s. Illustrated with drawings by Lt.-Col. Frank Wilson. Index. vii, 487 pp. Near fine in very good dust jacket (overall light edgewear to dj, original price of $4.95 still present).
