Description:
London: George G. Harrap & Co., 1938. First English Edition (Cohen A107.1) (Woods A44a). Hardcover (with Dust Jacket). Very Good. 8vo (466 pages). This is an extremely beautiful copy of the First English edition, without dust jacket. The cloth is uniquely unfaded, particularly along the fade-prone spine. The contents are fine, with light, scattered foxing to the fore-edge only. A discreet sticker from The [London] Times Book Club is affixed to the rear pastedown, else fine. Quite lovely.

Description:
London: George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd., 1938. First Edition, only printing. Hardcover. This book is the precursor to Churchills great war speeches, the first edition, only printing. This particular copy is increasingly scarce thus, in the first issue dust jacket. The dust jacket has done its job protecting the book beneath, which is near fine - noteworthy for being uncommonly clean inside and out. The binding is not only square, tight, and entirely unfaded, but immaculately clean with sharp corners and virtually no wear. The contents are mildly age-toned, but retain a crisp, unread feel and show no spotting not even on the fore and bottom edges. The blue topstain retains uniform, dark hue. We note customary browning to the half-title from the pastedown glue and the illustrated bookplate of B. D. Farquharson affixed to the front pastedown. Overall, this is among the cleanest copies we have encountered. The first issue dust jacket shows more age and wear than the lovely book it has sheltered.…

Description:
London: George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd., 1938. First Edition, only printing. Hardcover. This book is the precursor to Churchills great war speeches, the first edition, only printing. This particular copy is increasingly scarce thus, in the first issue dust jacket. Condition is good plus in a good dust jacket. The navy cloth binding is square, clean and tight with only minor shelf wear to extremities. The only sunning corresponds to jacket losses at the upper and lower spine and upper and lower front face, confirming that this book and its dust jacket have always been paired. The contents retain a crisp feel and spotting is minor. Nonetheless, we do note age toning, dog-eared corners at the leaves spanning pages 433-446, and fading as well as a light moisture stain to the top edge of the text block (which does not intrude whatsoever upon the inner margins). The sole previous ownership mark is a tiny bookseller sticker affixed to the lower rear pastedown of Thorburn & Abbott Ld. Booksellers of…

Description:
London: George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd., 1938. First Edition, only printing. Hardcover. This book is the precursor to Churchills great war speeches, the first edition, only printing. This particular copy is increasingly scarce thus, in the first issue dust jacket. This copy is very good in a very good minus dust jacket. The blue cloth binding is beautifully square, clean, bright, and tight with sharp corners and vivid spine gilt. We note only a hint of sunning at the spine tips. The contents retain a crisp, unread feel. Trivial spotting appears confined to the endpapers, half-title, and the blank frontispiece recto. The sole previous ownership markings are initials and a surname, neatly and diminutively inked on the upper right half-title recto. The fore and bottom edges are clean apart from modest age-toning. The blue-stained top edges are uniformly dulled. This copy would merit very good plus or better if not for a missing front free endpaper. This has been neatly but fully removed, so that the…

Description:
London: George G. Harrap & Co., Ltd., 1938. First edition, only printing. Hardcover. This is the precursor to Churchill's great war speeches, the British first edition in the rare yellow dust jacket issued just after Churchill became Prime Minister. The book contains text from 41 Churchill speeches spanning 25 October 1928 to 24 March 1938. These criticize British foreign policy and warn prophetically of the coming danger that would become the Second World War. 5,000 copies were printed of this first and only printing of the first edition. Of these 5,000, at least 3,381 and perhaps more than 4,000 were sold with the pale blue, first state dust jacket. The balance - no more than 1,619 copies and quite likely fewer - were offered at a lower price in June 1940 bearing a striking yellow dust jacket. Because the price was reduced with the yellow dust jacket, this has often been called by bibliographers the "Cheap" issue. Given that Churchill had just become Prime Minister in May 1940, it might be more…

Description:
London: George G. Harrap & Co., 1940. First English “Cheap”Edition (Cohen A107.3) (Woods A44a). Hardcover (with Dust Jacket). Very Good. 8vo (466 pages, with frontis photo). Unsold copies of the first printing of ARMS AND THE COVENANT were re-issued as this so-called "Cheap Edition” by Churchill's publisher Harrap in June 1940, a month after he became Prime Minister. The only new feature was a new dust jacket, printed a vivid yellow with deep red type. This is a very good copy, with an unclipped dust jacket that is bright on the front face, age-darkened and edge-chipped on the rear face, and toned across a spine that was at one time misfolded. The book itself is virtually mint, the cloth a rich and unfaded dark blue, including the notoriously fade-prone spine. The binding is tight, the corners square. The contents are fine and unfoxed, with a tiny vintage bookshop sticker on the front pastedown and the usual toning to the half-title from the frontis photo. A wartime rarity.

Unsold copies of the first printing of ARMS AND THE COVENANT were re-issued as this so-called "Cheap Edition" by Harrap in June 1940. The books were untouched, the only new feature was a new dust jacket, printed a vivid yellow with deep red type. This is a very good copy in an unclipped dust jacket that remains bright on the front face with light fading to the spine. The book itself is crisp, tight and unfaded. The contents are fine, with a tiny vintage bookshop sticker on the front pastedown and a discreetly inked former-owner’s name hand-dated “July 1940” on the front free endpaper. The fore-edges are foxed and there is the usual flap shadow on the half-title. Else fine.
