Description
This virtually mint Main Volume First American edition set is signed by both its respective authors in the first book written by Randolph Churchill (Volume I) and the first written by Martin Gilbert (Volume III).
Volume I is signed in ink on the half-title: “Inscribed for Anne Ford by Randolph S. Churchill, Boston. 9 Dec. 66.”
Tipped-in on the page opposite this signature, is a handwritten note that reads:
This autograph was written with the gold pen Sir Winston used to sign all important documents since 1939. It was given him by his son Randolph (whose autograph this is) on his birthday.
Anne Ford
Dec. 9, 1966
The contents of all volumes are fine, virtually mint, as are the jackets. Volume IV jacket is modestly faded on the spine and neatly price-clipped, the others are all unclipped and unfaded, with light edge-wear to the spine head of Volume V only.
A singular set.
