INDIA, Speeches and an Introduction
Thornton Butterworth, London, 1931, First published in both orange wraps and orange cloth, the clothbound edition is far scarcer and came in two variants, with the title reading down the spine, or across as this copy. Cohen believes the across variety to be the first issue, and it seems the scarcer of the two. . 5 x 7.25 inches, 143 pages. Churchill was strongly opposed to Gandhi and Independence for India in the 1930’s. This book publishes 10 of his speeches on the subject. It is now a scarce title lacking from many collections. Book very crisp and unworn, strong orange colour on covers, dulled on spine, some faint white areas of condensation on covers. Page edges off white with faint spots, Foxing on first 3 and final leaves, otherwise clean contents. (ICS A38). Item #36595
