London: Macmillan and Company Limited, 1907. Hardcover. This is the 1907 first one-volume unabridged edition of Winston Churchill’s biography of his father. The British first edition was published in two volumes in 1906. In 1907, the publisher issued this one-volume edition, containing the full text of the two-volume work as originally published in 1906, but printed on thinner paper. The binding closely resembles the first edition of just a year earlier. Here is a very good plus copy. The red cloth binding remains tight and square with sharp corners, nicely rounded spine, bright spine gilt, and none of the usual color shift between the spine and covers. Minor wear is limited to extremities. Wrinkling to the front cover cloth looks like it may be an original binding fault. The contents remain bright and clean with no spotting and no inscriptions. The sole previous ownership mark is a rather amusing (and slightly self-contradictory) unofficial review in pencil on the first free endpaper that… Read More

London: The Library of Imperial History, 1974. Hardcover. This is Winston Churchill's first biographic work, the subject of which is his father, Lord Randolph Churchill. This lovely edition was produced in very limited numbers using sheets from the 1974 Collected Works that were never bound by the original publisher. This edition contains the full, unabridged text of the 1906 first edition with the added benefit of the author's new Foreword from the 1952 Odhams edition. The result is the superb contents of the Collected Works - printed on 500-year archival paper with gilt top edge - in a heavy, red buckram binding with the Churchill Arms on the front cover. The contents are bound with red and gold head and tail bands and gray endpapers. The binding is far more practical and durable than the vellum in which most Collected Works volumes were originally bound. This copy is in as new condition, the binding and contents pristine with no wear, defects, or previous ownership marks. Winston Churchill’s… Read More

London: Macmillan and Company Limited, 1907. Hardcover. This is the 1907 first one-volume unabridged edition of Winston Churchill’s biography of his father. This copy is more noteworthy for provenance than for intrinsic collectible value. The only previous owner mark in the book is inked in three lines on the front free endpaper recto: “Margaret Moss | Cowichan Station | B.C.” This book belonged to Margaret Johnstone Moss (1871-1937) of Cowichan Station, British Columbia. Margaret is noteworthy both for her accomplishments and for the fact that her history is substantially known – atypical for a woman of her time. During the Boer War Margaret was selected by the British Colonial office to work among the women and children in the concentration camps in Bloemfontein, South Africa, and was later put in charge of educational services there. It was likely here that Margaret met Major Claude Moss, then serving as the deputy assistant adjutant general of the Orange River Colony. They married Dec. 24,… Read More

New York: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., 1906. First U.S. edition, only printing. Hardcover. This is the first U.S. edition, only printing, of Winston Churchill’s 1906 biography of his father, Lord Randolph Churchill. This U.S. edition is visually similar but aesthetically superior to its British counterpart, the volumes featuring gilt top page edges and a ribbed cloth binding with gilt and blind rules and the Marlborough Arms in gilt within a double blind ruled front cover panel. This set is in good minus overall condition, sound, complete, and unrestored but showing age and experience. The cloth bindings retain strong red hue and bright spine and front cover gilt, but show moderate overall scuffing, fraying at points to the extremities, and some wrinkling and concavity to the spine cloth, particularly that of Volume I. The contents are notably bright and clean for the edition with no spotting, strong top edge gilt, and clean fore and bottom edges. The same previous owner name, date of “1920”, and… Read More

Lord Randolph Churchill was a two-part biography written by Winston Churchill of his father, a prominent Victorian politician It was first published in 1906 It received much critical acclaim However, filial devotion caused him to soften some of his father's less attractive aspects Theodore Roosevelt, who had known Lord Randolph, reviewed the book as "a clever, tactful and rather cheap and vulgar life of that clever, tactful and rather cheap and vulgar egotist" Some historians suggest Churchill used the book in part to vindicate his own career and in particular to justify crossing the floor 2 vols xvi, [2], 564; viii, [2], 531 pp Illustrated with photogravure portraits, facsimiles, etc 23x155 cm (9x6"), bound in red cloth lettered in gilt, gilt armorial shield on front covers Spines faded with a few marks and a touch of fraying, some light soiling to covers; front hinge of Volume 2 cracked but bindings sound, occasional foxing, most pages uncut,… Read More
