Collector's Guide
Painting as a Pastime is Winston Churchill’s marvelous essay celebrating his favorite hobby. It first appeared in the Strand magazine over two issues in December 1921 and January 1922. It was then anthologized in Churchill’s 1932 book, Thoughts and Adventures, before being published on its own as this delightful little volume, which has since been endlessly re-issued in a variety of English and American editions.
Description
This a very good copy of the Fourth Printing of the First American Paperback edition issued in 1966, photo-reproduced from the First American hardcover edition. The cover has a triangular rub on the front cover. The contents are fine.
