Toronto & London: Ryerson Press & George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd., 1933-1938. First edition. Hardcover. . This is a full, jacketed set of the unusual and scarce Canadian issue of the first edition. Marlborough is Winston Churchills monumental biography of his great ancestor, John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough. This Canadian issue, like its British counterpart, is four volumes published individually between 1933 and 1938. Also like their British first edition counterparts, these Canadian issues are physically impressive. The books measure 9.25 x 6.25 inches (23.5 x 15.9 cm) and are roughly 2 inches (5.1 cm) thick, each volume with a profusion of illustrations, facsimiles, maps, and plans. However, the Canadian first editions are far more scarce than their British counterparts with subtle differences in appearance and presentation. The Canadian editions of the first three volumes were issued by Ryerson Press instead of Harrap, bound in a dark purple cloth instead of the plum of the British…

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1933. First edition. Hardcover. Here is a full set of six U.S. first edition, first printings of Winston Churchills monumental biography of his great ancestor, John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough. This set features the quite scarce first state dust jackets and slipcases, and is the best we have encountered thus. The U.S. publisher chose to split the first two volumes into two books each; the six-volume U.S. first edition is identical in content its four-volume British counterpart, but dramatically different in appearance. Moreover, there were two distinctly different states of the U.S. first edition. The first four U.S. volumes were originally issued in two-volume sets, with cream-colored dust jackets featuring green print, each two-volume set housed in an illustrated publishers slipcase. The fifth volume was originally issued in a white dust jacket with a red-printed design matching that of the two slipcases for volumes I & II and volumes III & IV.…
