New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1939. First U.S. edition, first printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good . This is a seminal Churchill book that includes 82 articles focused on foreign affairs written by Churchill between March 1936 and May 1939, many of them containing his warnings and predictions about Nazi Germany. Here is the first U.S. Edition, first printing in dust jacket. Even Churchill's opponents would vindicate his prescience. Upon publication, Labour leader Clement Attlee, a political opponent who would replace Churchill as Prime Minister in 1945, wrote to Churchill: "It must be a melancholy satisfaction to you to see how right you were." Others were even more blunt. Sir Desmond Morton, military officer, government official, and appeasement opponent, wrote to Churchill: "Many years on, historians will read this and your speeches in Arms and the Covenant. They will wonder but I doubt they will decide what devil of pride, unbelief, selfishness or sheer madness possessed the English people that they did not rise as one man" and "call on you to lead them." As a bit of irony or a poorly timed attempt at balanced perspective, the publisher used the rear flap of the U.S. edition dust jacket to advertise "In Search of Peace" by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Less than a year after publication, in May 1940, Churchill would replace Chamberlain as Prime Minister. This jacketed U.S. first edition is very good in a very good dust jacket. The blue cloth binding is tight, clean, and square, with sharp corners. Exterior flaws are minimal - a small bump to the upper rear edge, two tiny closed tears to the spine head cloth, and a tiny blemish in the front cover red title banner. We find no spotting and no previous ownership marks. The book retains uniform red topstain and the untrimmed fore edge remains notably clean. The dust jacket is unclipped, still bearing the original $4.00 front flap price. Losses are modest, confined to shallow chipping at the spine ends with minor wear to the edges. The front and rear faces remain clean and bright, with minor sunning and scuffing to the jacket spine. The dust jacket is protected in a removable, archival quality clear cover. Bibliographic reference: Cohen A111.2, Woods/ICS A45(b.1). Langworth p.198.

Description:
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.… Read More

London: Liberal Publication Department, 1904. 1st Edition. Hardcover. This Bound volume contains Liberal Leaflet No. 1923 entitled "Tory M.P.s on Mr. Brodrick's Army Corps Scheme. The pamphlet is 4 pages in length and contains two excerpts from Churchill's House of Commons Speech of 24 February 1903 - the last of his famous six oratorical assaults on Brodrick's plan to expand the Army. In 1903 Winston Churchill was a brash new member of Parliament. Then Secretary of State for War, John Brodrick, had introduced a plan for expanding the peacetime Army. Brodrick was a fellow Conservative and Cabinet member. Churchill had been an Army officer and had partaken in four wars on three continents before election to Parliament in 1900. Nonetheless, Churchill vehemently assaulted Brodrick's plan. Fascinatingly, this was the same fight upon which Churchill's father, Lord Randolph Churchill, had gambled and lost his own political career in 1886. Unlike that of his father, Churchill's opposition ultimately… Read More

Description:
London: Thornton Butterworth, Ltd., 1933. Hardcover. This book is a collection of 23 engaging essays by Churchill on an incredibly wide variety of subjects. From the original front flap blurb: "Whether he is dealing with personal reminiscences, or telling us his views on any subject under the sun, Mr. Churchill stamps the page with his own vivid personality." Thornton Butterworth published the first edition in 1932. Less than a year later, Thornton Butterworth issued the "Keystone Library" edition from first edition plates. There were two Keystone Library printings (1933 and 1934) and multiple binding variants or "states". With jacketed first British editions now extravagantly rare and extraordinarily expensive, this first edition, first printing of the original publisher's Keystone Library issue is an attractive alternative. Here is a very good copy of the first Keystone Library issue, first printing, second binding state in very good original dust jacket. The scarce and striking dust jacket is… Read More

Description:
Dundee and London: John Long & Co, Ltd., 1903. 1st Edition. Paperback. We have never before seen or heard of a copy of this very early pamphlet, which is previously unknown to Churchill bibliographers Ronald Cohen and Fredrick Woods. The subject is the great policy debate of the time - free trade vs. protectionism. The pamphlet contains 25 items described in the preface as "principal arguments advanced by leading speakers in the Fiscal Controversy". Churchill's contribution is a condensation of his article in the November 1903 issue of Monthly Review (Cohen C224, Woods C32). It appears on pages 34 and 35 of the pamphlet under the title "Retaliation Examined" and is introduced with a brief summary of the subject and a small profile drawing of Churchill. In the article, Churchill takes issue with Balfour's Sheffield speech of early October 1903 in which Balfour advocated a retaliatory tariff. This was a critical argument at a critical time for Churchill. Free Trade was the policy issue that… Read More

Description:
Aldershot, Gale & Polden Ltd., 1959. First edition. Hardcover. This scarce book is a unit history of the Queen's Own 4th Hussars, particularly notable for a foreword and contributions by Winston S. Churchill. The 4th Hussars was at Aldershot in 1895 when Lieutenant Winston Churchill joined it from Sandhurst as the junior subaltern. The 4th Hussars would experience much of its most conspicuous glory during Churchill's long life and then would cease to be in the twilight of Churchill's life, just a few years after the end of Churchill's second premiership. Not surprisingly, Churchill contributions to this book are ubiquitous and prominent. Churchill contributes a Foreword dated September 1957, with facsimile signature. There are also numerous lengthy excerpts from Churchill works, including My Early Life, The World Crisis, and The Second World War. Of bibliographic note is Churchill's address of 1 February 1943, which here appears in a version somewhat different from those published in Onwards to… Read More

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.

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

Description:
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

Hulme, Keri: The Bone People. Louisiana State University Press, A tale of New Zealand. Stated United States First Edition, 1985. 450 pages, indexed. 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).
