About this Item
Penetrating profiles of twenty-one political and literary luminaries. An utter delight to read; beautifully written, brutally opinionated. (Hitler comes off just a bit better than Shaw.) Churchill's subsequent "Revised Edition," added four additional profiles: Fisher, Parnell, Baden-Powell and Franklin Roosevelt. This is a very good copy of the rarely seen [London] "Times Book Club" edition, which was bound from Second edition sheets but in a plainer binding of smooth dark blue cloth.The externals here are exemplary, with brilliant blue cloth and bright gilt titles. The contents are fine, with a former owner name inked on the front free endpaper and faint foxing throughout. There is toning to the endpapers front and rear, and a tiny "Times Book Club" inkstamp on the rear pastedown.Truly scarce, especially in this condition. 8vo (387 pages, illustrated with 25 portrait photographs) (Cohen A105.4) (Woods A43b).
