Sobre este artículo
London: Cassell & Company Ltd,, 1952. Bound for Asprey First collected edition, first impression, handsomely bound for the luxury purveyors Asprey, of the definitive collection of Churchill's war speeches, compiled by his literary secretary. During the war, Churchill's speeches were published in annual volumes. "Produced to cheap standards owing to wartime shortages and restrictions, the original volumes were all out of print by 1952. Cassell decided to reissue the war speeches in a new, expansive and comprehensive edition of three tall, elegant volumes printed in large type and generous margins on quality stock" (Langworth, p. 303). Beyond the superiority of the production standards, the edition includes speeches omitted from the prior publications. "But the best reason to acquire this new edition is that it provides an index - never present in the original volumes - which make it the most readable and useful version of the war speeches" (ibid.). Three volumes, octavo (241 x 146 mm). Late 20th-century red morocco for Asprey, spines lettered in gilt, gilt rule to compartments, covers, and turn-ins, marbled endpapers, gilt edges. Title pages printed in red and black, facsimile typed notes with manuscript corrections in the text. A fine copy. Cohen A263.1(I-III).a; Woods A136. Richard M. Langworth, A Connoisseur's Guide to the Books of Sir Winston Churchill, 1998.
