Description
London: Thornton Butterworth, 1948. First edition. Very Good. First editions, handsomely bound together. "The broadest range of Churchill's thought between hard covers, Thoughts and Adventures comprises essays on a wide array of subjects, attesting not only to the breadth of the author's comprehension but of his personal experience" (Langworth, p. 154). The essays muse on his career, his hobbies, the First World War, politics, and the future. Painting as a Pastime was published as one of the essays. It was then published separately in 1948. We have never handled the pair bound together before. Churchill began painting during the First World War, and remained a keen painter throughout his life. 2 works in 1 volume, octavo (211 x 132 mm). Photographic frontispiece, several cartoons in text. Mid-20th-century blue half morocco by Bayntun, spine lettered in gilt, blue cloth sides, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt. Bookplate of John Thoburn Williamson (1907-1958), Canadian diamond magnate who built a significant book collection. Spine sunned with some soiling, a little foxing. A very good copy. Cohen A95.1a; Cohen A242.1.a. Richard M. Langworth, A Connoisseur's Guide to the Books of Sir Winston Churchill, 1998. Very Good.

Description
New York City: Japanese Students' Christian Association in North America, 1926. Very good.. 39pp. Original blue printed wrappers, stapled. Minor wear and fading to edges. A scarce pamphlet issued by the Japanese Students' Christian Association in North America (JSCA, a branch of the YMCA), and written by Roy Hidemichi Akagi, intended as the first in a series of publications on Japanese-American issues in the mid-1920s. The author was a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, a scholar and historian, and served as the General Secretary of the JSCA. The present pamphlet originated in discussions among JSCA members on the Pacific Coast regarding the titular issue, the "Second Generation Problem," specifically centered on the inability of primarily English-speaking Nisei to connect with other Americans or with their Japanese-speaking parents and older relatives. Akagi's suggestions concentrate on efforts to promote Nisei civic culture, education, and connection with Issei and other Americans. OCLC locates about a dozen copies in American institutions.
