The War Speeches of the Rt. Hon. Winston S. Churchill, 3 volumes
Cassell, London, 1951-52, 1st editions, hardcover. This collected edition of Churchill’s war speeches has much to recommend it. There are minor differences in the selection of speeches included from the original 7 wartime volumes, as detailed in Cohen. 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. Woods states that only 4740 sets were produced, so this can be a very elusive title. Woods A136a, Cohen A263.1.a. Books are tight and unworn with bright gilt, unmarked covers. Owner name in vol III only, edge spotting on vol. III foredges, all contents clean. Dustwrappers are correct firsts, price clipped, slight toning of spines with minor wear and small losses at spine ends. (A136a). Item #36807
