Description:
London: Thornton Butterworth, Ltd., 1933. Hardcover. This book is a collection of 23 engaging essays by Churchill on an incredibly wide variety of subjects. From the original front flap blurb: "Whether he is dealing with personal reminiscences, or telling us his views on any subject under the sun, Mr. Churchill stamps the page with his own vivid personality." Thornton Butterworth published the first edition in 1932. Less than a year later, Thornton Butterworth issued the "Keystone Library" edition from first edition plates. There were two Keystone Library printings (1933 and 1934) and multiple binding variants or "states". With jacketed first British editions now extravagantly rare and extraordinarily expensive, this first edition, first printing of the original publisher's Keystone Library issue is an attractive alternative. Here is a very good copy of the first Keystone Library issue, first printing, second binding state in very good original dust jacket. The scarce and striking dust jacket is… Read More

There is minimal bumping and fraying on the cover boards. The pages are yellowing and tanning, with some vertical fraying and warping, but the pages are clear of markings. A few of the pages are dog-eared and edges torn.

The word Saga might be objected to on the ground that it connotes the heroic and that there is little of heroism in these pages. But it is used with a suitable irony; and, after all, this long tale, though it may deal with folk in frock coats, furbelows, and a gilt-edged period, is not devoid of the essential heat of conflict. Discounting for the gigantic stature and blood-thirstiness of… Read More
