Marlborough: His Life and Times, Volume II
by Winston S. Churchill
- Used
- near fine
- Hardcover
- first
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1933. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good. This is a jacketed U.S. first edition, first printing of the second volume of Winston Churchill's monumental biography of his great ancestor, John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough. Churchill's biography was initially conceived a full 40 years before publication of the fourth and final volume. Churchill originally considered the idea of the biography in 1898, returning to it in earnest in 1928. Marlborough ultimately took 10 years of research and writing and is the most substantial published work of Churchill's "wilderness years" in the 1930s. The final volume was published on the eve of the Second World War in 1938. Richard Langworth says "To understand the Churchill of the Second World War, the majestic blending of his commanding English with historical precedent, one has to read Marlborough." The British first edition was issued in four volumes. The U.S. publisher chose to split the first two volumes into two books each, resulting in a six volume set that is otherwise the same in content as the British. This U.S. first edition, first printing of Volume II is near-fine in a very good, uniform issue blue and gold dust jacket. The green cloth binding is tight, clean, and square with bright spine gilt. The only trivial exterior flaws are tiny bumps to the rear cover corners and the slightest hint of scuffing to the front face. The contents are clean and bright with no spotting or inscriptions. The Scribner's "A" on the copyright page confirms first printing. Even the untrimmed fore edges remain clean. The dust jacket remains bright and unclipped, still bearing the original $2.75 price on the upper front flap. There is trivial wear, mostly at the spine ends and corners, with minor scuffing to the front face. Fractional loss is confined to the spine head and corners. The dust jacket is protected in a removable, archival quality clear cover. Bibliographic reference: Cohen A97.4(II).a, Woods/ICS A49(ba), Langworth p.169.

Description:
London: Thornton Butterworth Limited, 1930. First edition, first printing. Full leather. This is a finely bound copy of the first edition, first printing of Churchills autobiography. My Early Life sold very well at the time and has seen a great many editions since, many of them collectible in their own right, but of course a premium attaches to first editions. The challenge for collectors is that the plum colored binding of this edition proved especially susceptible to fading, soiling, and wear; nearly all copies are considerably spine faded. Hence this finely bound example. We commissioned the binding in full dark plum morocco, deferential to the original binding color. The binding features hubbed spine with gilt-tooled and decoratively framed raised bands, gilt lion rampant in the unprinted compartments, and twin brown spine labels. The beveled edge boards are framed in gilt and gilt-tooled turn-ins framing handsome marbled endpapers. The contents are bound with silk head and tail bands and gilt…

London: Macmillan and Company, 1906. First edition, only printing. Hardcover. This is a first edition set of Winston Churchill's biography of his father, Lord Randolph Churchill. The first edition, only printing, is aesthetically pleasing, featuring deep red cloth, untrimmed page edges, gilt stamping, and the family coat of arms in gilt on the front covers. However, the red cloth binding of this edition proved quite susceptible to fading and wear and the contents to heavy spotting. First edition sets are not especially uncommon, but collector worthy sets are scarce. This set is in very good condition. The red cloth bindings remain square, tight, and bright. There is modest shelf wear to extremities as well as modest scuffs and blemishes, a bump to the upper front corner of Volume II, and some abrasion to the lower Volume I rear corner. Shelf presentation is quite respectable for the edition, with no appreciable color shift between the covers and spine and bright spine gilt. The contents remain…

What came to be known as the Age of Bismarck was an era of sharp paradox. The man who had based his policy on "blood and iron" now designed a peace that last 40 years." Ex-library with typical treatments, fep is clipped, jacket is covered with mylar. Tape transfer marks on endpapers. Edgewear, bumped top corners and head and heel of spine, worn corners.
