Eightieth Birthday Tribute to Sir Winston Churchill.

£2,500 · Offered by Shapero Rare Books

signed Not published as a signed edition, this appears to be one of the very few signed by Churchill; it contains a plethora of fascinating photographs of the subject's life. *Possibly autopen but unlikely. However, this reservation is reflected in the price. First and only edition, no 78 of 3,000 copies, this one *signed on the title-page; 4to (290 x 230 mm); Forward by Randolph Churchill, black white frontispiece portrait of Winston Churchill in dress uniform and a further 400 photographic illustrations; publisher's full rust morocco by Mansell, gilt lettering to spine (a little faded), gilt facsimile of the great man's signature to upper board (some minor rubbing), a couple of spots to top edge of text block and slight fading to upper edge of front board, otherwise a very good copy.
