A propos de cet article

First edition - second printing - published in November, 1942 - stated on the printer's page as the Second Edition. This second volume of Churchill's war speeches was published at the height of the conflict in June, 1942, with this second printing appearing a few months later. The complete set of speeches wasn't fully published until 1946, with the publication of the final (seventh) volume "Secret Session Speeches". Illustrated with five black and white plates including a frontispiece portrait photographs of Churchill. ***Very good in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still beautifully bright, having been protected by the dustwrapper. The boards are clean and unmarked, just slightly creased at the top of the spine. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges slightly foxed. Internally also very good with no previous ownership marks. There is none of the usual off-setting to the endpapers, and also none of the usual foxing to the interior pages. The interior of the book is extremely clean. No creases or tears. The paper stock is notably thinner than Volume 1 which shows how wartime paper shortages were kicking in by late 1942. ***In a very good printed dustwrapper, which is almost complete, but which has slight loss at the head of the spine (not affecting the lettering) and a triangular chip at the bottom edge of the back panel. There is also some general rubbing and creasing to the edges, but no serious creases or tears (please see scans). Spine colour remarkably unfaded. Back panel somewhat grubby (being a white background). The dustwrapper has been neatly square price-clipped on the front flap. ***349 printed pages. 220mm x 145mm. ***'This volume contains the chief speeches of the Prime Minister from November, 1940, to the end of 1941, thus containing the series begun in "Into Battle." Once again the House of Cassell considers itself honoured by being charged with the publication of the Prime Minister's utterances.' (Quote taken from the back panel of the dustwrapper) ***An early second printing of the true first edition - published only a few months after the original first printing. Of interest to collectors of Winston Churchill related works. Early printings in the wartime dustwrappers are very hard to come by now. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate.…
