[CHURCHILL, WINSTON S.]. My Early Life: A Roving Commission. London: Thornton Butterworth Limited, 1934. REPRINT. Cloth-bound; hardcover with dust jacket; octavo (22.5 x 14.5 x 4 cm); pp. 392. English text. Bound in publisher's cloth covers and supplied with the original unclipped dust jacket; half-title; 28 illustrations; rear index in double columns. Printed in Great Britain by Butler & Tanner. Condition: VERY GOOD. Binding tight and secure. Covers very well-preserved. Contents with some light spotting to fore edge. Dust jacket with very light browning and edge wear. Without previous ownership markings. Notes: Keystone Library edition, first impression. A rare copy with the dust jacket of perhaps Winston Churchill's most entertaining book, a memoir of youth and wayward school boyhood - in fact, the only volume of personal memoirs that Churchill ever wrote. The Keystone Library was Butterworth's budget imprint, reproducing first edition-replica volumes at affordable prices. The original, striking dust jacket, is unclipped and just moderately age-toned. The binding, which is virtually a duplicate of the first English edition, is in excellent condition. Illustrated throughout with photo frontispiece, maps, plans, one folding map, and 16 tipped-in illustrations. (Cohen A91.3.b) (Woods A37a).
