The War Speeches of the Rt. Hon. Winston S. Churchill, 3 volumes
Cassell, London, 1951-52, 1st editions, This collected edition of Churchill’s war speeches has much to recommend it. There are five additional speeches lacking from the wartime volumes, and there is now an index, a most helpful addition. The production standard is far higher. The books are larger at 6 x 10 inches, bound in heavy navy buckram, completely reset with generous margins, on a better grade of paper. Only 4740 sets were produced, so this can be a very elusive title. here is a tight unworn set of firsts in dustwrappers. Books are crisp, clean, gilt bright, edges even but foxed, contents clean. Dustwrappers are correct, unclipped, darkened on spines, light wear at spine ends with loss of a tiny 1 mm deep chip at head of vol. I. (A136a). Item #26141
