Section B includes collections of novels, short stories and plays previously published in book form, and anthologies of short stories edited by Wodehouse/Scott Meredith.

The goal for this Section is to acquire the earliest U.K. and U.S. publications of a title, plus second editions or revisions if they are different from the first edition/issue.

The first part of the Section B database lists titles with the original McIlvaine Bibliography number. If a “first printing” is so stated in a book, or in the case of more recent books, is indicated by a number or letter string, the notes section of that title entry will say “First Printing” or “First Edition.”

In the second part of the Section B database, devoted to titles listed in the McIlvaine Addendum, the assigned McIlvaine number adds an additional numeral “1” at the end to indicate a First Edition/First Issue of a title.

Several of the titles listed in Section B were first published in paperback format, and are so noted.

The Edition, Dust Wrapper and Condition Guidelines that apply to Section B will be found on the homepage.

Several paperback omnibus volumes published by Penguin can be found in Section AA: Paperback Editions, Penguin. The McIlvaine numbers for those items begin with “Ban”.

This Section’s database lists some newer Post-Addendum titles published after the McIlvaine Bibliography and Addendum. It is envisioned that Omnibus titles will continue to be published.

We are interested in learning of new omnibus titles. Contact the Project Leader to learn if the new title is desired for the Collection.
