THE SECOND WORLD WAR: Pirated First Abridged One-Volume Edition

-Probable Taiwanese Issue-

Product image: THE SECOND WORLD WAR: Abridged One-Volume Edition

By: Winston S. Churchill

1967 | $200.00

A very good copy of a variant of the Pirated Edition of the First English Abridged edition, as described by the Cohen bibliography. The book and jacket generally conform to the Cohen bibliography description of a “Taiwanese issue photo-reproduced from the Cassell abridgement, with the page size reduced and all mention of the British publisher […]

THE SECOND WORLD WAR: Pirated First Abridged One-Volume Edition

-Probable Taiwanese Issue-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1967 | $200.00

A very good copy of a variant of the Pirated Edition of the First English Abridged edition as per the Cohen bibliography. The book and jacket generally conform to the Cohen description of a “Taiwanese issue photo-reproduced from the Cassell abridgement, with the page size reduced and all mention of the British publisher excised, except […]

THE SECOND WORLD WAR

-Taiwanese Pirated Edition in Dust Jackets-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1968 | $500.00

This odd pirated set was photo-reproduced from the original Cassell edition, without any mention of the Taiwanese publisher, printer or publication date (another pirated edition does exist with all of those notices). The page sizes are reduced, the bindings are not consistently of the same dimension and the dust jackets are trimmed short of the […]

THE SECOND WORLD WAR

--12-Volume Heron Reprint Edition (Complete)-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1974 | $350.00

One of the more attractive reprint editions of Churchill’s war memoirs, bound in quarter-morocco leather with gilt Churchill medallions on each cover. Printed in twelve volumes, rather than the original six, the text includes most of Churchill’s final revisions to this much-revised history and is more profusely illustrated than virtually any other edition. In very […]

-12-Volume Heron Reprint Variant Edition-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1974 | $550.00

This is a variant binding of one of the more attractive reprint editions of Churchill’s war memoirs. Usually found in brown quarter-morocco leather, this variant is bound in blue leatherette with elaborate gold tooling including Churchill’s facsimile signature on each front cover. Printed in twelve volumes, rather than the original six, the text includes most […]

THE SECOND WORLD WAR

-Leatherbound First American Edition-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1948-1953 | $3,500.00

This is a stunning First American edition set rebound in quarter-burgundy calf over burgundy cloth, the spines gilt lettered and numbered in six compartments with raised bands, each spine ornamented with the Churchill rampant lion, all edges gilded. The books have been trimmed for binding. Else fine.

THE SECOND WORLD WAR

-First American Edition Set with Tipped-In Signature of Winston Churchill

By: Winston S. Churchill

This First American edition set, from the library of naval historian S.E. Morison, contains a blank sheet signed in ink: “Winston S. Churchill,” tipped-in on the front free endpaper of Volume II, together with a typed presentation note on headed Chartwell notepaper signed in ink by Churchill’s Private Secretary Anthony Montague Browne, dated 18 February, […]

THE SECOND WORLD WAR

-Second English Edition Set-

By: Winston S. Churchill

$850.00

This is a very good Second English edition set, without dust jackets. Winston Churchill was famously disappointed to discover that the English First Edition of Volume I had been printed by Cassell in a 10-point Bembo typeface, rather than the larger 12-point that Churchill had originally approved. This reduction enabled Cassell to print an additional […]

THE SECOND WORLD WAR

-First Australian Edition Set in Dust Jackets-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1948-1953 | $1,350.00

This is a very good set of the rare First Australian edition in unclipped dust jackets, save for Volume VI, which is neatly clipped. All jackets are fresh and bright, just nominally age-darkened but not faded on the fade-prone spines. The contents are fine, with discreet vintage bookshop plates on the front pastedowns of Volumes […]

THE SECOND WORLD WAR

-First English Overseas Edition in Dust Jackets-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1949-1953 | $1,250.00

This is a very good set of the rare First English “Overseas” edition in dust jackets that bear the imprint: “Overseas Edition” just above the price on the lower front jacket flaps. This “Overseas Edition” does not appear to be fully described in any Churchill bibliography, though Ronald Cohen does mention examining in Australia a […]

THE SECOND WORLD WAR [Unabridged]

-First Reprint Society Set in the Original Glassine Jackets-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1950-1956 | $300.00

This is a very good set of First Printings, in the rare original glassine jackets, which are edge-chipped but intact. The cloth is fresh, the red spine labels are bright. The contents are fine, unfoxed and largely unopened. Very rare thus. Reset in smaller type, with author corrections added, this handsome unabridged edition was published […]

THE SECOND WORLD WAR [Unabridged]

-Reprint Society Set-

By: Winston S. Churchill
