Collector's Guide
Step by Step is a chilling anthology of Churchill’s prescient newspaper pieces about the rising Nazi threat, written for the Evening Standard and Daily Telegraph, commencing in 1936 with Hitler’s reoccupation of the Rhineland, through the final months before the declaration of war in 1939.
Description
This is a near-fine copy of the First English Edition, in the rare dust jacket, which is unprice-clipped and only slightly darkened with age, far less than usual, with light edge-wear and a few closed short tears, front and rear. The book is virtually mint, the cloth unusually clean and fresh, the gilt lettering is bright, the binding is crisp and tight. The corners are very slightly turned but still sharp. The contents are fine and unfoxed, with a vintage bookplate on the front pastedown. Else fine.
