MY EARLY LIFE: A Roving Commission -First Keystone Library Edition (First Printing)- Winston S. Churchill

First Keystone Library Edition (First Printing)Printing). Arguably, 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. Published in the U.S. under the title, A ROVING COMMISSION. A virtually mint copy of the First Printing of the First Edition in publisher Thornton Butterworth's Keystone Library reprint series. The Keystone Library was Butterworth's budget imprint; it reproduced First Edition-replica volumes at affordable prices.The original, striking dust jacket, is here unclipped and perhaps a touch age-darkened along the spine only, else fine. The binding, which is virtually a duplicate of the First English Edition, is in mint condition, unfaded and fine. The contents are fine as well.A near-perfect copy.Laid-in is a charming pre-printed note from Argosy Magazine, which clearly must have sent these books by application to their subscribers. 8vo (392 pages, with photo frontispiece, maps, plans, one folding map, 16 tipped-in illustrations) (Cohen A91.3.a) (Woods A37a)
