NY: G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1939. First American Edition (Cohen A111.2) (Woods A45b). Hardcover (with Dust Jacket). Very Good. 8vo ( 336 pages numbered [i]-xii and [1]-324, photo frontis). This is a very good copy of the First American edition, in the rare dust jacket, which is unclipped and well preserved, bright on the front and rear faces, only nominally faded along the fade-prone spine. There is some edge wear, with light chipping and fractional edge-losses along the upper edge of the rear face and the spine head and tail. There are also a few faint scratches along the spine. The contents are fine and unfoxed. An especially attractive copy.

NY: G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1939. First American Edition (Cohen A111.2) (Woods A45b). Hardcover (with Dust Jacket). Very Good. 8vo ( 336 pages numbered [i]-xii and [1]-324, photo frontis). This is a very good copy of the First American edition in a price-clipped dust jacket that is modestly shelfworn and faded but intact, with only light edge-chipping, and a bit of scuffing to the spine. The book is beautifully preserved, the cloth bright, the contents fine and unfoxed.

London: Thornton Butterworth Ltd. , 1939. “Times Book Club” Edition (Cohen A111.1.d) (Woods A45a). Hardcover (with Dust Jacket). Very Good. 8vo (365 pages, 2 maps, one folding, at rear). This is a very good copy of the rarely-seen [London] “Times Book Club” edition, which came out simultaneously with the First English edition, bound from First Edition sheets, somewhat reduced in size, though. Surprisingly, bibliographer Ronald Cohen seems to have missed this edition altogether, which is a rarity unto itself. The black cloth would appear to be a variant binding. We also have a copy bound in green cloth that appears to have precedence (see item #208909). The half-title page is omitted in this copy and the spine type reads: “W.S. Churchill.” as opposed to “Winston S. Churchill” as it appears on the green cloth version, and most other Times Book Club titles. The book is also approximately 1/4-inch shorter than the green version. The black cloth here is fresh but there is some staining… Read More

London: Thornton Butterworth Ltd. , 1939. First English Edition (Cohen A111.1.a) (Woods A45a). Hardcover (with Dust Jacket). Very Good. 8vo (365 pages, 2 maps, one folding, at rear). This is a very good copy of the First English Edition, in an unclipped dust jacket that has modestly darkened with age, as per usual, with faint edge-chipping at the spine head and tail and a closed tear on the rear face. The book is crisp and clean, with bright green cloth and gilt lettering. The contents are fine and unfoxed. A truly handsome copy.

London: Thornton Butterworth Limited, 1939. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. This is a compellingly well-preserved jacketed British first edition, first printing of an important Churchill title - his last book published before the outbreak of the Second World War. This copy – the best we have offered - is unusually bright and clean, truly fine in a very good plus dust jacket. The green cloth binding is immaculate, perfectly tight, and entirely unfaded with vivid spine gilt, sharp corners, and no apparent shelf wear. The contents are crisp, bright, and tight. We find no previous ownership marks. Differential toning to the endpapers corresponding to the dust jacket flaps confirms what the binding already testifies – that this copy has spent life jacketed. Truly negligible spotting is confined to the endpapers. Even the fore and bottom edges are strikingly clean, the only sign of age is a trivial hint of shelf dust to the top edges. The dust jacket is nearly as impressive, unclipped,… Read More
