Churchill, Winston S.
Taiwan Pirate, no data, For the collector who thought he had everything, here is a most unusual item, missing even from the first edition of Langworth’s book. The Taiwan pirate edition of the 3 volume WAR SPEECHES. As you can see from the illustration, these look like the originals, only shrunk by 20%. The Cassell editions are 10 inches tall, these are 8.2 ins. The complete text has been copied photographically, and even the dustwrappers are shrunken copies of the originals, albeit with more intense colours. The books are bound in grey cloth with silver titles running down the spines. The dustwrappers have small losses at spine ends, but very strong colour. All 3 books have the Chinese stamping on the endpapers. Anothyer treasure from my Reference Collection. (). Item #36693
