Collector's Guide
The People’s Rights collects six Churchill speeches from the 1910 General Election rebuking the Tories for their rejection of “The People’s Budget.” Originally published in simultaneous hard and softcover editions, the book is now rarely encountered in either format. In fact, this is probably the third rarest Churchill book after Mr. Brodrick’s Army and For Free Trade. It was reprinted twice in the 1970s, though even these reprints are scarce today.
Description
A very good First State copy of the First Softcover edition, with the misnumbered page 71 (numbered I) and the Appendix and Index at rear. The covers, front and rear, and the spine are intact, save for infinitesimal fractional losses at the spine head and tail, though the upper right corner edge of the front cover has been discreetly reattached with archival tape from within. The pages are browned, some are chipped, and the corner tips of the prelims have frayed (though they are still present). The contents are otherwise quite fine.
An extremely perishable rarity preserved in a red full-leather clamshell solander with gilt titles.
