Description
This is a very good First English edition set, in the very rare dust jackets, which are generally in exceptional condition, a trifle edge-chipped, else fine. Volume I jacket is neatly price-clipped, but correct, the others are unclipped. Volume II jacket has a few faint ink marks and creases on the spine, and a modest dampstain on an upper corner of the rear face
The books are in remarkable condition; the fade-prone cloth virtually unfaded, the gilded tops bright, the contents fine and unfoxed.

Collector's Guide
Marlborough is Winston Churchill’s majestic biography of John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough; soldier, statesmen, hard-headed Churchillian ancestor. Initially published in England as a lush four-volume set and then as a somewhat less deluxe six-volume set in America, it was subsequently issued in an unabridged two-volume edition and a single-volume abridgment.
