About

We specialize in works by and about Sir Winston S. Churchill and collectible works by all authors, offering both singular inventory and approachable expertise. Churchill's official biographer, Sir Martin Gilbert, rightly called Churchill's long life "remarkable and versatile". Statesman, soldier, war correspondent, ardent social reformer, combative cold warrior, painter - Churchill was many things, but perhaps above all a master wordsmith. As a writer he was prolific, acclaimed, and popular. Churchill published 58 books, 260 pamphlets, and more than 840 feature articles. His speeches fill 9,000 pages. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature. We here to help Churchill's words find your shelves. Our extensive inventory represents decades of experience collecting Churchill. Our diverse offerings include a strong selection of scarce and fine Churchill material - of course first editions, scarce editions, and signed and inscribed material - as well as a stock of more affordable reading copies of works by and about Churchill. While we specialize in Churchill, we do feature a selection of non-Churchill material and assist our customers with collecting or selling other authors. We are happy to help answer questions about the daunting profusion of editions in the Churchill canon. If you seek a Churchill edition you do not find in our current online inventory, please contact us; we may have it in unlisted inventory. If not, we will likely be able to find it for you. Our inventory may be searched online via www.churchillbookcollector.com or you may visit us in San Diego by appointment.
