A very good rebacked copy of the First State, in the mottled-green-cloth binding variant. A lengthy split in the spine cloth has been repaired and the endpapers have been replaced. A previous owner’s name is discreetly ink stamped on the front free endpaper. There is a small tear in the cloth at the head of the spine but the contents are clean and unfoxed. A bargain, expertly restored.

The Third, and by far the rarest, printing of the so-called “Cheap” Edition, produced on February 28, 1941, according to bibliographer Ronald Cohen, despite the publisher’s printed “1940” publication date. The unclipped dust jacket here has toned unevenly along the spine, with edge-chipping at the spine head, some faint creases and scratches front and rear and a fractional loss along the rear upper jacket edge. The book is mint, inside and out, despite having survived World War II.

An astonishingly fresh copy of the pale purple-blue cloth binding variant that Cohen describes as dating to Churchill’s death in 1965. The book and dust jacket here are virtually mint, save for very faint fading to the dust jacket spine, a wide price-clipping WN �\PM�NZWV\�RIKSM\�ÆIX��IVL�I�JWWSXTI\M�IVL�QVSML�LI\M�WV�\PM�NZWV\�XI[M\LW_V��-T[M�ÅVM�

CHURCHILL AT CHARTWELL CHURCHILL AT CHARTWELL

This handsome vintage postcard of Winston Churchill in full stride is most noteworthy for the lengthy and extraordinarily perceptive ink message written on the verso by one “A.E. Walker,” who appears to have known Churchill and his family:

“This is ‘Dear Winston.’ I well remember seeing him standing on the Town Hall steps with his mother, who used the above expression. It was some years ago, when he tried to enter Parliament as M.P. for Manchester, but he was rejected. Manchester would not have him. He seemed to me to be like an overgrown school-boy, both in manner and appearance; and I do not suppose he has changed much since then. You will have heard all about his recent doings. He likes to be ‘Jack of all trades, master of none,’ and is very much like his father, the late Lord Randolph Churchill...Best wishes, A.E. Walker, C.C.E.Q.”

CHURCHILL AT CHARTWELLCHURCHILL AT CHARTWELL

14 15

Churchill’s first widely distributed hardcover collection of political speeches, expressing “radical” liberal views that were quite advanced for his time, prefiguring the modern welfare state that Churchill and David Lloyd George would set in motion. Though the burgundy clothbound English edition was handsomely produced, with Churchill’s signature in gilt across the front board, the American edition, similarly bound but without the gilt signature, is rarer.

1909LIBERALISM AND THE SOCIAL PROBLEM

CHURCHILL AT CHARTWELL

Six speeches from the 1910 General Election rebuking the Tories for their rejection of “The People’s Budget.” Originally published in simultaneous hardcover and softcover editions, the book is rarely encountered today in either format. In fact, this is probably the third rarest Churchill work after MR. BRODRICK’S ARMY and FOR FREE TRADE. It was reprinted twice in the 1970s, though even these reprints are scarce today.

1910THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS

For detailed descriptions, please see our website: www.churchillbooks.com

First English Edition (Cohen A29.1.a) (Woods A15a) $1,450 #16318

A very good copy, the spine darkened ever so slightly with age but the cloth and gilt still vividly fresh, uniformly smooth, rich and bright, with sharp corners. There is light scattered foxing to the prelims and fore-edges, else fine.

Second Edition (1970)

(RIGHT)American Issue (Cohen A31.10) (Woods A16bb) $95 #201093

A very good copy of the Second State of the First English edition (per Cohen). The condition is very good, given that these softcover volumes were printed on cheap, acidic paper that deteriorated quickly. The front cover here is missing a quarter of an inch or less at the upper right corner and the rear cover has loss of one-inch square at the lower right corner. The color of the covers is unusually bright and the spine is almost entirely intact and supple. The pages are browned, but less than usual. Some are chipped, with edge and corner losses, but this is a very good copy of an extremely perishable rarity. It is preserved here in a blue cloth clamshell box with a leather spine label.

A very good copy in an unclipped dust jacket.

American Reprint Edition (2004)(Cohen A29) (Woods A15) $75 #203425

This is a very attractive, recent, privately produced reprint by D.N. Goodchild of Philadelphia. The pictorial dust jacket is laminated, the binding is burgundy leatherette over paper-covered boards, with a red ribbon marker, the text is entirely reset and the contents are fine. A very nice way to read this seminal and not often reprinted work.

This is a beautiful copy of the First Binding/First State of the First English edition (per Cohen), in the prescribed rough pink cloth that is here vividly bright. The spine is faded - as per usual with this book - but is otherwise strikingly fresh and unworn, which is rare. The binding is tight and the corners ZIbWZ�[PIZX��<PM�KWV\MV\[�IZM�ÅVM��\PM�\Q\TM�XIOM�Q[�uncut and the book generally appears never to have been read. A very handsome copy.

A very good copy of the exceedingly rare hardcover First Edition, without dust jacket. The orange cloth has darkened but the black \aXM�Q[�]VNILML��\PM�JQVLQVO�Q[�[Y]IZM�IVL�\PM�corners sharp. The contents are clean and unfoxed. A very rare book.

Issued by the the International Churchill Society’s publishing arm, this contemporary replica edition is now out of print. Here is a mint copy of the dust jacketed Deluxe Limited Edition, number 26 of 100 copies that were especially bound in leather, all edges gilt.

CHURCHILL AT CHARTWELL

Written just four months after Churchill’s return to government as First Lord of the Admiralty and four months before he would replace Chamberlain as Prime Minister. The letter, dated January, 1940, on Admiralty letterhead (7 1Á4 x 9 1Á4 inches), is addressed to Arthur Paul Boissier, the Headmaster of Harrow School, Churchill’s alma mater:

Dear Mr. Boissier, [in ink, in Churchill’s hand]I am most grateful for your kind letter of greetings. It is good to receive such a message of encouragement from Harrow. With all good wishes to you and to the School for continued success, [All in Churchill’s hand:]Believe me, yours sincerely, Winston S. Churchill

The letter is in excellent condition, with the standard fold marks. Nine months later, during the Blitz of September 1940, Harrow School was hit by incendi-ary bombs. In a single night some three hundred bombs fell among the build-ings or in the grounds, though this was apparently not by intent. German bombers involved in a raid over London had dumped the remainder of their JWUJ�TWIL�\W�[I^M�N]MT�WV�\PMQZ�ÆQOP\�PWUM��_Q\P�\PM�UIRWZQ\a�NITTQVO�WV�0IZ-row. It was Churchill’s private secretary, John Colville (another Harrow alum-nus), who told him of the tragedy. Until that moment, Churchill had never mentioned Harrow to Colville, “except,” according to Colville, “with dislike.” Boissier had, in fact, written repeatedly inviting Churchill to visit Harrow, to no avail. Now, however, Churchill observed to Colville that Harrow was “courageous to remain on the Hill and not to emigrate to more peaceful pastures.” On December 18, 1940 Churchill did visit Harrow and, as Colville later noted, “thoroughly enjoyed himself.” Old Harrow songs were sung, as \PM�8ZQUM�5QVQ[\MZ�Y]QM\Ta�JTQVSML�JIKS��\MIZ[�

CHURCHILL AT CHARTWELL

This recently rediscovered oil painting is a damaged original, painted by Winston Churchill in �!�!��<PM�XIQV\QVO�UMI[]ZM[����`����QVKPM[�IVL�Q[�]V[QOVML�·�I[�_I[�+P]ZKPQTT¼[�NZMY]MV\�XZIK-tice. It strongly resembles two others that he painted on site at Lake Louise, Canada, in 1929 during his cross-country tour of North America in the company of his son Randolph, his brother Jack, and his nephew Johnny. Both of those paintings appear in the catalogue raisonné, Sir Win�[\WV�+P]ZKPQTT¼[�4QNM�<PZW]OP�0Q[�8IQV\QVO[, by David Coombs and Minnie Churchill. The painting comes to Chartwell Booksellers direct from William Murray, the son of Detective Edmund Mur-ray, Winston Churchill’s bodyguard from 1950 until Churchill’s death in 1965, and the man en-trusted with setting up (and taking down) Winston Churchill’s easel and painting implements wherever in the world Churchill happened to be. Mr. Murray found the painting recently and remembered his father bringing it home many years before and showing it to the family, after which it disappeared. It is Mr. Murray’s understanding that the painting had been damaged somehow in the studio at Chartwell and had been set aside for disposal. Detective Murray asked if he could keep it and “permission was given.” David Coombs, our foremost authority on Churchill the painter, has authenticated this painting for us.

“To Sir Hastings Ismay (commonly called ‘The Pug’) from Winston S. Churchill. Christmas 1942”

This extraordinary leatherbound Presentation set, is SIGNED and Inscribed by Winston Churchill in ink on the front free endpaper of the second volume, The Unrelenting Struggle, to Churchill’s most important military aide during World War II, Major-General Hastings “Pug” Ismay: “To Sir Hastings Ismay (commonly called ‘The Pug’) from Winston S. Churchill. Christmas 1942.”

HASTINGS ISMAY (1887-1965) was appointed Secretary of the Committee of Imperial Defence in 1938. When Churchill became Prime Minister he chose Ismay as his chief staff officer. According to John Colville, “Churchill owed more, and admitted that he owed more” to Ismay “than to anybody else, military or civilian, in the whole of the war.” Ismay’s name appears in all volumes of this work.

Wonderful curiosity: a caricature of Winston Churchill constructed entirely from small watch parts. The likeness is uncanny; as good as any that we have seen fully drawn. The piece is signed and dated, “+��*]ZOM[[����,” and is pleasingly framed in gold leaf (9 x 8 inches). There was a Burgess Galleries in Cornwall, Great Britain, that specialized in art pieces made from watch parts. More than that, we do not know.
