Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Edition. 289 Pages Indexed. A tight as new book with near-flawless interior text pages and the feel of a never opened book. Hilaire Belloc was a poet, polemicist, and prose stylist without peer, but above all, an entire generation's mighty champion for the Catholic faith. He was a prolific… historian who authored many important works such as How the Reformation Happened, Europe and the Faith, and The Crusades. The Essential Belloc, a timely new compilation of his insights on religion, politics, Western history and culture, is perfect for Catholics struggling against secularism. Included are his lighter musings on the particular charms of towns and peoples throughout the world, the love of good food and drink, and the songs of camaraderie that go with them. This is the perfect book for those who know and love Belloc and for those not yet familiar with the brilliance and humor found in his prose. Contents in Ten Chapters: Christendom in Crisis, Islam - Scourge of the west, Travels on Land and Sea, Friendship and the Inn, Belloc the Essayist, Economics an the Social Order, History and Historical Personages, Science and Truth, Songs and Verse, and Wit Witticisms, and Wisdom. Pelicano, Christopher J. - Cover Art and Design (illustrator).

Add to basketFirst edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the first state dustwrapper. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm with just a little bumping at the spine tips, the cloth and gilt are bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamp…s. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked, price-clipped dustwrapper that is a touch darkened to the spine and folds and otherwise without loss or tears. An exceptional example, scarce thus. A counter-factual collection of essays by leading historians and authors covering important events in history and speculating on what might have happened if their outcomes had been different. Winston Churchill contributes "If Lee Had Not Won the Battle of Gettysburg". Both the book and the dustwrapper are in the primary state. Some copies in a reduce sized 'variant' binding of green cloth are known to have been bound with trimmed first edition sheets, and issued in a newly designed dustwrapper, which is identical to that of the 1932 re-issue. (Woods B18; Cohen B43.1.a). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. All items are catalogued by humans. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. First edition. This the first edition, first printing of the first volume appearance of Churchill's engaging speculative history essay "If Lee Had Not Won the Battle of Gettysburg". This copy is rendered doubly compelling by being an elusive binding variant and retaining the rare and striking dust jacket.This jacketed… copy the only we have offered - is very good plus in a very good plus dust jacket. The green cloth binding is square and tight with bright spine gilt and sharp corners. We note only light soiling to extremities. The contents remain bright with a crisp feel and no previous ownership marks. Differential toning to the endpapers corresponds to the bright yellow dust jacket flaps, confirming that this copy has spent life jacketed. Spotting is heavy to the top edge, lighter to the fore and bottom edges, occasionally intruding into the blank inner margins. The distinctive dust jacket, printed in green and black on yellow stock, is complete apart from fractional loss to the spine head and unclipped, retaining the original lower front flap price. The spine shows only slight toning and minor wear is substantially confined to extremities. The dust jacket is protected beneath a removable, clear, archival cover. Churchill's intriguing piece first appeared in Scribner's Magazine in December 1930 as part of a series of "What If" articles by eminent authors of the time. In 1931, Longmans published this book-length work on the same theme, including Churchill's piece at pp. 173-196. This British first edition preceded an American counterpart and, oddly, we find it scarcer than copies of the original magazine publication. It becomes genuinely rare thus, in the original dust jacket, and is rendered an elusive prize when found in this variant binding of the British first edition, first printing. Per Churchill's bibliographer, Ronald I. Cohen, this variant binding is "Bound in moderate bluish green embossed calico-texture cloth" (as opposed to red cloth) and slightly reduced page size (from 235 x 151.2 mm to 217 x 140.7 mm). Churchill's essay herein displays the commanding grasp of history and the facility for extrapolation that made him so formidable as both a statesman and a writer. Moreover, his interest in America's great struggle was quite serious; Churchill toured Virginia battlefields with the great Civil War historian Douglas Southall Freeman and toured Gettysburg with none other than Dwight Eisenhower. Thirty years later, Churchill would publish a book on the subject, The American Civil War (1961), excerpted from his epic A History of the English-Speaking Peoples. Reference: Cohen B43.1.b, Woods B18.

Contact seller5-star sellerHalf leather. First edition. This is the first edition, first printing of the first volume appearance of Winston S. Churchill's engaging speculative history essay "If Lee Had Not Won the Battle of Gettysburg". Churchill's intriguing piece first appeared in Scribner's Magazine in December 1930 as part of a series of "What If" art…icles by eminent authors of the time. In 1931, Longmans published this book-length work on the same theme, including Churchill's piece at pp. 173-196. We commissioned this magnificent binding in half red Morocco goatskin over marbled paper-covered boards. The hubbed spine features gilt tooling on and framing the raised spine bands, as well as twin dark brown spine labels. The covers feature gilt rule transitions between the Morocco spine and corners and the marbled-paper sides. The contents are bound with matching marbled endpapers, silk head and foot bands, and gilt top edge. The newly commissioned binding is flawless. The contents are crisp and clean with no previous ownership marks. The only appreciable soiling is a small stain to the upper fore edges (that does not intrude on the contents within), as well as an incidental hint of spotting confined to the fore edges. This British first edition preceded an American counterpart and, oddly, we find it scarcer even than copies of the original magazine publication. Churchill's essay herein displays the commanding grasp of history and the facility for extrapolation that made him so formidable as both a statesman and a writer.
