The full title is Addresses Delivered in the Year Nineteen Hundred and Forty to the People of Great Britain, of France, and to the Members of the English House of Commons, by the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. This lavish production was printed and bound by the Grabhorn Press ( a well known Fine Press) on heavy handmade paper in 2 colours on large 10.5 x 15.5 inch pages. Five of Churchill’s speeches from 1940 are published herein, including some of his best known such as “Blood, Toil, tears, and Sweat”, and “the few”. The colophon at rear states that a total of 250 copies were printed. I have documentation that all 250 were sold within hours. See Langworth p. 244. This hardbound book by Churchill is missing from nearly all collections. |
