| An
important work for Churchill scholars was WINSTON S.
CHURCHILL, HIS COMPLETE SPEECHES 1897-1963. Compiled
by Robert Rhodes James with aid of a team of graduate
students, this definitive and near complete set of all
Churchill's speeches comes in 8 massive volumes that
total almost 9000 pages. Its index is unsurpassed for
finding speeches. It is over 200 pages with 3 distinct
sections. This reference work was published by Bowker
in 1974, and sold primarily to libraries when new, which
explains its scarcity on the second-hand market. Everyone
wants this to look up speeches, but it is rarely seen.
Bound in red cloth with gilt titles on black spine panels.
Quantity published unknown, but clearly insufficient
to meet current demand as prices keep rising. Issued
with no dustjackets.
