SAVROLA

-First American Edition-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1900 | $2,500.00

This is a brilliant copy of the First American edition. The cloth is a vivid, deep blue, the gilt lettering is bright, the corners remain sharp, the spine is astonishingly crisp and unfaded. The contents are similarly pristine. Can a 125 year old book be as-new? It is possible.

SAVROLA

-Rare Variant Red Binding of the First American Edition-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1900 | $450.00

This is the scarce Second Printing variant of the First American edition that was bound in bright red, rather than blue, cloth, with lettering blocked white, rather than gilt. The white type has almost entirely faded, which is not unusual for this unique volume, and the spine cloth has faded considerably as well, but the […]

SAVROLA

-First English Edition-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1900 | $600.00

This is a very good copy of the First English edition. The green cloth has uniformly darkened and there is light edgewear. The gilt has faded somewhat. The binding is square and the contents are fine, with very scattered, light foxing throughout, more pronounced on the prelims. A former-owner’s name in ink has been partially […]

SAVROLA

-First Colonial Library Hardcover Edition-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1900 | $3,500.00

This is an original, unrestored, virtually mint copy of the exceedingly rare First Printing of the Colonial edition. It is significantly rarer than either the American or English first editions of SAVROLA. Bibliographer, Ronald Cohen states that no more than 1,500 Colonial SAVROLAs were produced for both the hardcover and the softcover issues combined. Moreover, […]

SAVROLA

-"Sevenpenny Library" Edition in the Rare Dust Jacket-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1915 | $2,000.00

A clothbound paperback-equivalent of the World War I-era, this small and rather fragile “Cheap” edition did not age well and its striking dust jacket rarely survived and is virtually never seen. This is an exceptional copy. The jacket has faded along the spine, with edge-chipping at the head and tail. There are fractional chips along […]

SAVROLA

["Sevenpenny Library" Edition]

By: Winston S. Churchill

1915 | $95.00

This is a very good copy of the so-called “Cheap Edition,” a rather small and fragile clothbound paperback-equivalent of the World War I-era. The cloth remains a deep red and the spine type is still vividly black. The corners have turned and the hinges are tender but the binding is square. The contents are fine, […]

SAVROLA

-The Legendary Illustrated French Limited Edition-

The most elaborate edition ever produced of Churchill’s only novel and one of the finest productions of any Churchill work, this beautiful illustrated French translation was limited to 1000 copies, with eloquent color woodcut illustrations by Andre Collot. This is a very good copy, Number 793 of 1000, as originally issued as loose signatures in […]

By: Winston S. Churchill

1900 | $375.00

A rudimentary full-cloth rebinding of the Second Printing of the First English edition in red cloth blocked with gold type on the spine. The binding is crisp and the contents are fine, with a former-owner’s bookplate on the front pastedown. A very nice way to read a book that has never been easy to find.

-Signed Second Printing of the First English Edition-

By: Winston S. Churchill

1900 | Register to View Price

This well-worn copy of the Second Printing of the First English edition is signed and dated in ink: “Winston S. Churchill 1905” beneath Churchill’s printed name on the Prefatory Note page. Signed copies of SAVROLA are virtually unheard of. According to Richard Langworth, writing in his Connoisseur’s Guide, “SAVROLA is one of the least inscribed […]
