The full title is Addresses
Delivered in the Year Nineteen Hundred and Forty to
the People of Great Britain, of France, and to the Members
of the English House of Commons, by the Prime Minister,
Winston Churchill. This lavish production was printed
and bound by the Grabhorn Press ( a well known Fine
Press) on heavy handmade paper in 2 colours on large
10.5 x 15.5 inch pages. Five of Churchill’s speeches
from 1940 are published herein, including some of his
best known such as “Blood, Toil, tears, and Sweat”,
and “the few”. The colophon at rear states
that a total of 250 copies were printed. I have documentation
that all 250 were sold within hours. See Langworth p.
244. This hardbound book by Churchill is missing from
nearly all collections.
