Collector's Guide
Thoughts and Adventures is a terrific anthology of Churchill essays and magazine articles from the 1920s and early 1930s on a wide variety of subjects, including, especially, his much-loved essay “Painting as a Pastime.” It was issued in the U.S. under the title Amid These Storms.
Description
This is a very good copy, in an unclipped dust jacket, of the First Printing of the Macmillan wartime reprint edition. The jacket is a bit darkened, particularly along the spine. The binding is virtually mint, the contents fine, with a faint ink gift inscription dated “46” on the front free endpaper and an inked endnote on the rear free endpaper. The hinges are just beginning to give, else fine.
