Things are sloooowwww around here, so I'm super excited to tell y'all about this lucky auction find here in the cultural desert in which I live...
I bought this set at what I have to believe is a bargain price. It's the collected works of Winston Churchill, produced in 1975, all 38 volumes. The covers are vellum.
According to the information page in each book, there were 2000 made for the UK and 1000 for the U.S. and Canada. Information I've seen on the internet says that in actuality only 1750 sets total were produced. OK, I can believe that since this was such a titanic undertaking. However, sheets in my set say that it is number 2146. How can this be?
Anyway, the set is on the top shelf and on the left-hand side of the next shelf down. Happy happy!
