London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd., 1943. Macmillan issue from first edition plates, third printing. Hardcover. This is a Second World War reprint of British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill’s autobiography of his early life, published in 1943, during Churchill’s wartime premiership. Churchill's extremely popular autobiography, covering the years from his birth in 1874 to his first few years in Parliament, was first published in 1930 by Thornton Butterworth Limited. This was at the beginning of a decade the author spent out of power and out of favor, frequently at odds with both his Government and prevailing public sentiment. But in 1940, terribly vindicated by the outbreak of the Second World War and the failure of the leaders he had so long criticized, Churchill became wartime Prime Minister. And also in 1940, Thornton Butterworth went under and a different publisher, Macmillan, acquired the rights to several of Churchill’s books. Hence wartime reprints by Macmillan using the original first… Leer más

London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd., 1943. Macmillan issue from first edition plates, third printing. Hardcover. This Second World War reprint of Winston Churchill’s autobiography has interesting wartime provenance. Per an elaborate printed grey plate affixed to the front pastedown, this copy was a gift from British industrialist Alexander Duckham to a customer in 1943. The presentation plate reads: “Written when he certainly had no conception of becoming 'Pater Patriae' I feel that Mr. Churchill’s autobiography up to 1901 will be an appropriate and acceptable token of goodwill to our customers on our 44th birthday anniversary, November 1943.” The plate is facsimile signed “Alexander Duckham". Alexander Duckham (1877-1945) was an English chemist, businessman, and early aviation pioneer who in 1899 founded Alexander Duckham & Co. A blender of oils, Duckhams was the second largest of the independent UK blenders after Castrol. By the mid-1930s it was sold in over thirty countries, mainly in Europe and… Leer más

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1940. Second U.S. issue, second printing. Hardcover. This is Winston Churchill's extremely popular autobiography, covering the years from his birth in 1874 to his first few years in Parliament. This wartime U.S. edition was published the same year Churchill became wartime Prime Minister and includes a noteworthy new introduction. This second American issue was printed from first edition plates (and is thus technically "second issue" rather than "second edition"). Uncommon in the original dust jacket, it is also of bibliographic note. A new and supportive introduction dated 14 October 1939 was provided by the American broadcast and print journalist Dorothy Thompson, focusing on Churchill himself rather than the book. When the first printing was published in November 1939, Churchill had just been terribly vindicated by the outbreak of the Second World War and re-joined the British Cabinet as First Lord of the Admiralty. By the time this second printing was… Leer más
