About This Item
London: Longmans, 1900. First Edition. Hard Cover. (London: Longmans Green & Co. 39 Paternoster Row, London, New York and Bombay. 1900). First UK Edition, First Printing, First State (integral title page with the print history and date on the title page verso thereof). 345 p[ages + 2 pages of ads at the rear. Publisher's blue-green cloth with gilt lettering to the front board and spine; Churchill's signature in gilt to the front board. Black end-papers. A VG (or better) copy with a few slight marks to the front boards, softening to the spine tips and just a touch of rubbing to the edges. The page block has sporadic foxing particularly to the early/late pages of the book (a common fault with this title). The binding is straight, firm and intact and the gilt lettering bright and there are no inscriptions or book-plates and no splits to the binding. A totally honest, unrestored copy in nice shelvable condition and a nicer copy than normally seen of Churchill's only novel. The UK first is considerably scarcer than its US counterpart and was issued in only 1,500 copies on February 13, 1900. Note this is the first state of the first edition. [The second state is different in that it has a title page cancellans with a blank verso]. Photographs/scans available upon request.
