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. Fine set in dustwrappers. Books are very crisp with white even page edges, some faint marks on cover of vol. I, no names. Dustwrappers are unclipped, very bright spines match the shade of the covers. The spine ends show no losses. Some surface loss on spine of vol. 2. (A136a). Item #8537
