Extraordinary First Editions - 2024
This catalogue features a singular collection of first edition book-length works by Winston S. Churchill - 55 individual items containing a total of 125 volumes which, together, are one of the finest Churchill first edition collections in the world. This collection was amassed over a period of more than thirty years by a single collector. A few of the items are merely special. The majority are extraordinary. Some are likely unique. Nearly all would be standouts in any collection. While this catalogue is about far more than signed or inscribed items, 13 of the 55 items herein are significantly signed or inscribed, 9 of these by Churchill. The Churchill signatures span 1900 to 1964, the entire arc of Churchill’s long and storied political career.
