New Acquisitions updated 4 May.
Another group of new acquisitions have been uploaded on the 4th and should be viewable some time on the 5th. This week I added 11 new listings, most of them reasonably priced copies of books by Churchill, but one special traesure: WHILE ENGLAND SLEPT. The 4th impression was printed in 1941, but the title page still reads 1938. This book is a triple rarity. Firstly, the 4th impression is known in both a blue binding like the other 3, and also a red-orange as is this copy. Cohen makes no mention of this variant binding. I have seen 4th printing books in both the same DJ as the 3rd, and also the later style which mentions Blood Sweat Tears on the rear panel, as does this copy. As if these did not make the book interesting enough, it is signed by the editor, Randolph Churchill, on the dedication page.Click here to see the new acquisitions.

Guide to Books by Churchill
This
highly popularfeature of this site begins with a checklist
of all the book length works by Churchill. Each title on the
list then links to a page about that title with a brief discussion
of the various editions, with a colour photo of each of these
editions. Clicking on any of these descriptions or pictures
will then give a current listing of copies of that edition
in inventory, with the usual description and colour illustration.
Inventory
We have without question the largest stock of Churchill material
anywhere. There are over 5000 items in stock, covering the
whole range of Churchill collecting:
We do not simply have a copy of each title by Churchill; there
is usually a shelf or more for each title. MARLBOROUGH has
14 shelves, overflowing onto the floor. This enables us to
turn "wants lists" into satisfied customers. |
