First Australian Edition Set. The best-selling six-volume history that helped gain Churchill a Nobel Prize for literature. Published first in the U.S., the ensuing English edition contained numerous corrections and even a few additional maps. This is a very good set of the rare First Australian edition in unclipped dust jackets, save for Volume VI, which is neatly clipped. All jackets are fresh and bright, just nominally age-darkened but not faded on the fade-prone spines. The contents are fine, with discreet vintage bookshop plates on the front pastedowns of Volumes III-V and a touch of foxing to Volume VI only. As issued, without topstains, the first five printed in Australia, the final volume printed in England.A handsome set. 16mo (Maps, diagrams and tables throughout) (Cohen A240.5[I-VI].a) (Woods A123ba).
