Much Obliged, Jeeves first published in 1971 in the UK and in the same year in the USA by alternative title Jeeves and the Tie That Binds is second to last in the Jeeves & Wooster series.
The two editions have slightly different endings. In the USA edition after Jeeves informs that he has destroyed the 18 pages from the Junior Ganymede Club Book that he has written about Bertie, Jeeves express hope that he will stay in Bertie's service permanently.

Dear Mr. Wodehouse -
Thank you for the delightful visit to a time when the sun never set on the British empire and a wealthy idiot could spend his days at his aunt's estate in the English countryside and only worry about avoiding becoming engaged. It was lovely spending a few hours with the best gentlemen's gentlemen ever and that dear fool Bertie. Thank you for not aging them or trying to make them modern.

I never realized this, but P.G. Wodehouse published this book in 1971 when he was 90! It is the penultimate Jeeves and Wooster book, and for being a late installment, it is still quite good.
In “Much Obliged, Jeeves” Bertie Wooster is called back to his Aunt Dahlia’s country abode, Brinkley Manor, to help his old pal, Ginger Winship, campaign to become a Member of Parliament for Market Snodsbury.

Also named "Much Obliged, Jeeves", this one is just as hilarious as the others in the B&W series. And I almost gasped when Aunt Dahlia was about to lose Anatole again 😆 Must read, obviously.

This is a pleasant read that has a touch of a been there done that after reading all the previous J&W novels. It leans a bit too heavily on J&W standards like famous quotes and Bertie trying to remember a big word or remembering it but wondering if he has the right word. There are chuckles and smiles to be had here though few outright laughs. Still Wooster and Jeeves are both present and doing their jobs which is more than you can say about some previous books where either one or the other of ou

Plum never fails to entertain his readers. This time Bertie and Jeeves goes through a bit 'tricky problem' but, as they say, all's well that ends well. Personally, I am a bit biased with P.G. Wodehouse's works and hence I found it flawless.
