Lord Randolph Churchill
Macmillan, New York, 1906, 1st US edition in 2 volumes. hardcover. Churchill’s first biographic work, a well received study of his father. The American first edition published 1906 in 2 volumes is very similar to the English first, except bound in vertically scored dark red cloth and the publishers name on the spine is now “The Macmillan Company” instead of “ Macmillan & Co.”. Same setting and pagination so probably printed in USA from the English plates. 564 and 531 pages, index, total of 18 illustrations, some in colour. Edges trimmed and top edge gilt. Crisp attractive set with rich unfaded spines, bright gilt titles, minor wear at spine ends. The binding is very tight, page edges even, no spots, some hinge cracks, starting, but still solid. (A8aa). Item #50053
