London: Cassell and Company Ltd., 1941. First edition, first printings. Hardcover. Here is a full jacketed set of British first edition, first printings of Churchill's seven war speeches volumes. Few books are as emblematic of Churchill’s literary and leadership gifts as his war speeches volumes. Between 1941 and 1946, Churchill's war speeches were published in seven individual volumes. The British first editions are visually striking, but were printed on cheap wartime paper, bound in coarse cloth, and wrapped in bright, fragile dust jackets. They proved highly susceptible to spotting, soiling, and fading, so the passage of time has been hard on most surviving first editions. Assembling jacketed first printing sets has been challenging. This full first edition, first printing set features very good volumes in good plus or better dust jackets. The blue cloth bindings remain square, tight, and respectably clean, with only a few trivial blemishes, minor shelf wear to extremities, a few corner bumps,… Read More
