Lord Randolph Churchill
London and New York: Macmillan and Co. Limited, 1907. Second Edition [being the First Edition in one volume]. Hardcover. TEMPORARILY DISCOUNTED. WAS $2,750. NOW $1,000. A Very Good + or better copy of the Second Edition, being the first edition in a single volume with the printed/typed dedication page reading: "TO // CHARLES RICHARD JOHN SPENCER-CHURCHILL // THIS BOOK // IN ALL FAITHFUL FRIENDSHIP // IS INSCRIBED". The Volume is bound in the Publisher's burgundy cloth and wears its RATHER SCARCE, PUBLISHER-ADDED 1925 DUST JACKET. Both the book and its uncommon dust jacket are in Very Good or better condition. The book remains in the Publisher's original red cloth with the spine panel lined and lettered in gilt. The closed page block's top edge is in gilt and, while not perfect, remains attractive. The volume shows some general wear, particularly to the spine ends and board bottoms and corners and there also is a thin opening between the second front free endpaper and the half-title
Quite notably, this copywas formerly owned by Churchill's highly-esteemed Bibliographer as noted by, and signed by, Cohen in pencil on the volume's front free endpaper. A very good+ or better clean copy with the burgundy color slightly faded on spine, in very good to Very Good + jacket which is darkened on the spine, but the lettering remains readable, and shows shallow chipping to the spine ends and bottom of spine not affecting lettering, plus one very small chip in spine below the title also not affecting lettering and slight closed tearing to the spine's leading portion a touch below the author's name. The front and rear jacket panels are complete. The jacket's spine panel shows a minor bend line as well as a few small light spots, but it remains a very good to very good + jacket. The jacket is Macmillan's 1920s style brown paper which the Macmillan often added to earlier titles still in stock to update their advertising. The rear panel of the jacket lists "Some Standard Biographies" including Sir Sidney Lee's King Edward VII. The ad for King Edward announces vol. 2 for Autumn 1925, thus dating the jacket. A clean, square copy, very scarce in this jacket and virtually unobtainable in the original 1907 jacket. NOTE: We have reliable information that, with respect to first edition issued in two volumes, only five (5) jackets are known to survive for Volume I and only three (3) survive for Volume II. We quite seldom see a copy of this second edition (issued in only one volume) in the dust jacket and and conclude that describing this jacket as being "SCARCE AND ESPECIALLY NOTABLE" is justified. A RATHER SCARCE COPY INDEED.
Cohen's Winston Churchill Bibliography was based primarily based around two legendary collections – that of Steve Forbes, of Forbes Magazine fame, and of Cohen's own definitive Bibliography of the Writings of Winston Churchill – the catalogue represents one of the most substantial offerings of Churchillian material to ever come to market.
As asserted by Professor Christopher Bell for the International Churchill Society: "TOTAL IMMERSION in the Cohen Bibliography of Churchill’s works suggests it may rank with the Complete Speeches and Collected Essays in its service to Churchill scholarship."
Per the expert folks at the highly-regarded The Churchill Book Collector: Nearly 25 years of exhaustive research went into his indispensable three-volume, 2,183 page Bibliography of the Writings of Sir Winston Churchill. No less an authority than Sir Martin Gilbert effusively praised Ron’s work, calling it: “…a high point – and surely a peak – of Churchill bibliographic research… adding not only to the bibliographer’s art, but to knowledge of Winston Churchill himself.” Published in 2006, Ron’s Bibliography seeks to detail every single edition, issue, state, printing, and variant of every printed work authored by, or with a contribution from, Winston S. Churchill.
Furthermore,in his 2007 review of the Cohen Bibliography, Professor Christopher Bell said: “Ronald Cohen is the first scholar to capture the full scope of Churchill’s literary activities, not only his many books, speeches, and articles, but the thousands of letters, war dispatches, memoranda, and lesser items he produced during his long life. This is a model of how a bibliography should be written: with meticulous attention to detail, exhaustive research, a deep respect for the subject, and a literary flair of its own. It was a long time in the making, but it was worth the wait.” (Finest Hour, No. 133, Winter 2007).
Consequently, that this volume belonged the great Churchill Bibliographer, Ronald Cohen, is a significant matter and gives this volume an EXCELLENT PROVENANCE. Very good + / very good +.
