New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1932. First American Edition, 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near fine/very good. Octavo, 319pp., illustrated. A crisp, clean copy, very near fine, with a faint tidemark to the bottom corner of the rear board, not affecting any of the interior. Else lovely. In a very good dust jacket, sunned as always on the spine, with a few shallow chips to the spine ends and corners, but no loss to text. A pleasing copy of this first American edition (the only printing--collectors will note that unlike most Scribner titles, the first printing of this title did not bear an "A" or the Scribner seal. The book was not reprinted in the US, so this is the first and only U. S. printing). The book was published in England as "Thoughts and Adventures.

Thoughts and Adventures is an anthology of writings by Winston Churchill, compiled from various articles he wrote before he became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The book covers a wide range of topics, including personal experiences and political commentary.

Look for the publisher's name, Butterworth, and the publication date of 1932 for the first edition.
