Description:
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1910. First edition, only printing. Paperback. This is the first edition, first state of this striking, scarce, and fragile early collection of Churchill's speeches. In 1904, Churchill quit the Conservative Party and joined the Liberals, beginning a dynamic chapter in his political career that saw him champion progressive causes and be branded a traitor to his class. In 1910, when The People's Rights was published, Winston Churchill was a powerful political force and a member of the Cabinet. From December 3-11, 1909 Churchill was on the campaign trail on behalf of the Liberals. The People's Rights is a distillation of these nine days of speeches, criticizing the House of Lords (which had rejected Liberal Government's budget, thus precipitating the campaign) and championing Free Trade, a graduated income tax, luxury tax, and surtaxes on unearned income. Churchill's efforts were not wasted; as a result of the election, the Liberals would achieve a slim majority and…

Thoughts and Adventures
by Winston S. Churchill
- Used
- Hardcover
- first
London: Thornton Butterworth Limited, 1932. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. This book is from the personal collection of Churchill's bibliographer, Ronald I. Cohen. This is a jacketed copy of the first edition, first printing in the scarce first printing variant binding. The treble attributes of superlative condition, variant binding, and provenance render this copy a prize.
Thoughts and Adventures is Churchill's collection of 23 engaging essays on an incredibly wide variety of subjects. It has been called "The broadest range of Churchill's thought between two hard covers" and reflects the two qualities that so characterize Churchill's life - a remarkable breadth of both mind and life experience.
The first edition, first printing is typically found in a coarse, khaki colored cloth unique to the first printing. It is this very copy that allowed Cohen to observe in his bibliography copies are also known in dark greyish green dotted-line grain cloth, the colour uniformly identified with subsequent printings. I consider that such cases are later binding issues of first printing copies. (Vol. I, A95.1.b, p.383) Cohen cites only this copy. We have encountered few others, and this copy is by far the best-preserved.
Condition of this first edition, first printing, variant binding is near fine in a dust jacket approaching near fine. The binding hues are striking, the green hue dark and uniform, the spine and front cover gilt vivid. The binding is square and tight, the spine nicely rounded, the corners sharp. The cloth is nearly immaculate. We note only incidental shelf wear to extremities. The contents are bright with a crisp feel. Differential toning to the endpapers corresponding to dust jacket flaps further testifies that this copy has spent life jacketed. We find no previous ownership marks. Spotting is quite trivial and appears confined to just a few spots on the half-title and the otherwise clean page edges.
The dust jacket is unique to the first printing, with distinctive differences to later printings (and even some later first printings). This jacket is notably clean and highly complete, with only fractional loss to the flap fold corners and spine ends. The spine is only very lightly toned and scuffed, and consequently presents quite impressively on the shelf. The jacket is protected beneath a clear, removable, archival cover.
An original blurb for Thoughts and Adventures encapsulates as far as is possible the wide range of the chapters within: These true stories concern such things as the tides that make a politician change his mind; the domination of chance in human lives; the cartoonists who mocked Churchill; the chances and events that occurred while he was in the trenches; phases of the war seen from intimate participation with the high commands; flying experiences in 1912; the Irish; the future; and contemporary change." In a 31 May 1932 letter to his publisher about the book, Churchill characterized it thus: "...although there is no one single theme, it has some of the best things in it I have ever written."
Reference: Cohen A95.1.b, Woods/ICS A39(aa.1), Langworth p.156.

Description:
London: The Liberal Publication Department, 1904. 1st Edition. Paperback. Here is the extremely rare 1904 leaflet publication of Churchill's letter in opposition to the Aliens Bill. Churchill's letter of 30 May 1904 was printed in the Manchester Guardian and published soon after by the Liberal Publication Department as this single-sheet, double-sided "Leaflet No. 2006". The fight against the Aliens Bill was an important one for Churchill - providing opportunity for his first speech from the Liberal Opposition benches, burnishing his Liberal credentials as a champion of the disenfranchised, and ultimately scoring a political victory against the Conservative Party he had so recently abandoned when the Aliens Bill was defeated. The Aliens Bill of 1904 was a thinly disguised effort at anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant electioneering by the Conservative British Government. "A series of pogroms in Tsarist Russia over the previous twenty-five years had brought to England a large and increasing number of…

Description:
London: Conservative and Unionist Central Office, 1947. 1st Edition. Paperback. First edition, only printing. This is Churchill's 12 March 1947 speech in the House of Commons criticizing Socialist economic policies. The 16-page, wire stitched paper pamphlet measures 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches and is printed in dark blue. "It is right to arouse our people to the peril in which they stand. Only when they realize fully the decline and descent... into which they have fallen, and in part, been thrust, since our glorious victory, will those forces arise in the land in which redemption and recovery can be found." Less than two years earlier, Churchill's Conservatives had been soundly defeated in the General Election at the end of the war. Churchill would head opposition to the Labour Government until the General Election of 1951, which returned the Conservatives to majority and Churchill to the office of Prime Minister. This is a fragile pamphlet, printed on cheap paper. Here is a crisp copy with only…

London, Horbury & San Diego: Rickaro Books and Churchill Book Collector, 2019. First, limited, and numbered edition. Hardcover. This is the first, limited, and hand-numbered edition of an essay presenting a previously unrecorded letter by T. E. Lawrence. In 2018, the subject letter, penned in 1925 entirely in T. E. Lawrences hand, was discovered laid into copy 50 of the 1935 British limited issue of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Lawrence wrote this letter while posted to the Royal Air Force RAF Cadet College at Cranwell, where he completed the famous 1926 Subscribers' or Cranwell edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. This letter consists of 22 lines written by Lawrence on the blank verso of an RAF Application for Mechanical Transport. Lawrence remains a remarkably enigmatic figure. We investigate his character and his exploits though his published works - which span the WWI Arab revolt and life inside the inter-war RAF to crusader castles and ancient Greek translation to technical manuals…

London: The Liberal Publication Department, 1911. First edition, only printing. Hardcover. Contained in this bound volume is the first edition, only printing of this scarce Churchill speech leaflet. In 1910 Winston Churchill was a young lion of the Liberal Party, vexing the British establishment and helping Lloyd George lay the foundations of the modern welfare state. Here is the original 1910 leaflet publishing Churchill's November 14 letter stating vehement opposition to the veto power of the House of Lords. This leaflet captures the young radical Churchill in full flower. "Was ever inequality more scandalous? Was ever injustice more glaring? All classes are to have votes; but only Tory votes are to count. WE CAN SUBMIT NO LONGER TO THIS USAGE. THIS IS OUR LAND AS MUCH AS IT IS THEIRS." The leaflet is two pages, published by the Liberal Publications Department as Leaflet No. 2358 on November 18, 1910. It is bound in this volume containing Liberal Party speeches and pamphlets for the year 1910.…

London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1898. First edition, only printing. Hardcover. This is Churchill's first book, based on his exploits with Sir Bindon Blood's expedition on the Northwest Frontier of India in 1897. Offered here is a superior, collector worthy first edition, first state copy with interesting provenance. The sole previous owner name is "M. G. Cassels" in pencil on the half-title and what appear to corresponding corrections to pp. 187-89 and p. 207. On page 207, the third name in a list of "Wounded severely" British officers is "O. R. Cassells, 35th Sikhs." The "O." is crossed out and replaced with a "G" for the first initial and one of the "l"s struck to match the "G. Cassels" on the half-title. The corrections are in pencil and the "G" appears to be in the same hand as the "G." on the half-title. Lieutenant Cassells (or Cassels) was wounded while fighting alongside Churchill; his gallantry and good fortune are described in some detail on pp. 187-189. In each of the four instances of…

WINNER OF THE PEGASUS PRIZE FOR LITERATURE AND THE BOOKER PRIZE. Used. Very Good/Very Good unclipped original $17.95 dust jacket. Summary: "The Bone People, first published in 1984 by Spiral, New Zealand. About this book: The Bone People is an unusual story of love. It is unusual in the telling, the subject matter, and the form of love that the story depicts. This is in no way a romance; it is filled with violence, fear, and twisted emotions. At the story's core, however, are three people who struggle very hard to figure out what love is and how to find it. Hulme won New Zealand's Pegasus Prize for Literature (1984) for The Bone People. Then the book went on to win the prestigious Booker Prize (1985).
