Collector's Guide
Ian Hamilton’s March concluded Churchill’s Boer War narrative begun with London to Ladysmith. It features the triumphant liberation of his former-POW campmates in Pretoria, South Africa. The English and American editions were both bound in red cloth but the American edition is a match to the American edition of London to Ladysmith.
Description
A good copy only of the First English edition. The red cloth has unevenly darkened and there is a cup shadow on the rear board. The spine is well-rounded and unfrayed and the binding is tight, if slightly cocked. The original black endpapers are intact but there appears to be a glue shadow on the front endpaper from the removal of a bookplate. There is a repaired front hinge break. The contents are foxed on the prelims primarily, else fine.
