About This Item
London: Thornton Butterworth Ltd., 1931. First English Edition (Second Printing) (Cohen A92.1.d) (Woods A38). Hardcover (with Dust Jacket). Very Good. 8vo (144 pages). As-new, virtually mint copy of the extraordinarily rare Second Printing of the First Hardcover Edition. “Few cased copies of [INDIA’s] second printing are known,” wrote bibliographer Ronald Cohen in his Churchill bibliography. Here is one such copy, unjacketed, in astonishing condition. The cloth retains its orange brilliance uniformly with no spine fade. There is a pinpoint of wear in the cloth at the rear joint. The contents are fine and unfoxed with a previous owner’s name (and village in India: “Gorumahisani”) inscribed in ink on the front free endpaper. A near-perfect example of a prized rarity, preserved in a burgundy cloth sliocase.
