London. Elkin Mathews & Marrot. 1932. First edition. Green cloth-backed paper-covered boards, with an Art Deco inspired pattern in metallics and cobalt blue. Dust jacket with matching pattern and title labels pasted to spine and front board. 160 pages, printed on varied colour paper stock. Line drawings illustrated the text throughout. English. Very good; title rubbed on cloth spine, light wear to forecorners and head and base of spine; offsetting of flaps of dust jacket to endpapers; some mild wear and tear to fragile dust jacket, with some small losses, spine label worn with some loss to edges, the glue applied by the publishers to the front label has caused some staining and wrinkling to paper; a well-preserved copy with no inscriptions and with the scarce and fragile dust jacket.

A 'self-help' book for the Bright Young Thing. The book's full title is 'Chez James. The Wisdom and Foolishness of James: being a collection of papers concerning that Estimable and Lovable English Gentleman, gathered together by his Disapproving Family, and re-arranged by his Old Friends'. It provides a witty and tongue-in-cheek guide to modern manners and social etiquette for the young man about town, in this instance James Fitzroy Adolphus Montgomerie, 10th Bt.. Contents include 'James has well-defined Views on the Clubman', 'James warns his Nieces of the Pitfalls of Polite Conversation with Members of the Senior Service', 'James Invents a new Pastime for Wet Weather', and 'Inappropriate Menus'. Rose Henniker Heaton was the author of 'The Perfect Hostess' and of the prequel 'Dinner with James' published a year earlier.

not freshly made
No way this was fresh. Im South African and grew up on biltong and droewors and wow what a disappointment. The sticks were hard and tasteless. Wont buy again. Glad I didnt order in bulk as I was intending to.

Delicious and Genuine
I’m a South African living in Philly for the past 20 years. This wors is absolutely delicious and tastes like home! I was just at the Kruger Park, and this tastes better than anything I had in my trip in 2025. Congrats on a super product. Definitely buying more. Lekker.

Bitter Taste
The packing is well done, the look is presentable but the taste.. it’s not anything close to home. Or Rather the two countries who make Biltong/Droëwors. It has a bitter taste and I sadly won’t be ordering again. I was hoping it’s something I would be ordering multiple times. But that’s not happening.
