MY AFRICAN JOURNEY

-First Hardcover Colonial Edition-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1908 | $3,500.00

This is an exceedingly good copy of the rare First Colonial cloth edition, “intended for circulation only in India and the British colonies.” Harsher climate conditions in the colonies generally resulted in low survival rates for these editions. This copy is surprisingly fresh. The cloth is especially bright, with no spine fade, and brilliant gilt […]

-Signed First English Edition-

The few that have appeared were signed on later dates usually far removed from the book’s original publication. This is the finest and rarest example to come to light certainly in our history; signed […]
