The Dust Jackets all show small tears an creases and written volume numbers on the spine of the jacket. See descriptions and photos of specific books below. The country of first publication was the United States, preceding publication in the United Kingdom by six months. This was a consequence of the many last minute changes which Churchill insisted be made to the London Cassell edition, which he considered to be definitive. The books were a major commercial success in Britain and the United States. This first edition appeared in six volumes; later editions appeared in twelve and four volumes, and there is also a single-volume abridged version. For your review, I also have a complete six volume set of this series in lesser condition without original dust jackets, also listed on EBAY. Each volume is priced at just $35.95 per book. I offer multiple item discounts of up to 20% off, so if you were to put all five of these volumes into your shopping cart, they would show a 20% discount reflecting a net price of $28.76/each or just $143.80 for this five volume collection. In September 2021 there was a major Rare Book Dealer selling this same First Edition Set for $1,900.00! This is a great investment opportunity. I will ship these books via USPS Media Mail, unless you choose an expedited service.
