Hillsdale is providing a wonderful service to all of us who love Churchill and who are appreciative of the scholarship that has gone into these volumes.
I had the privilege of meeting Sir Martin Gilbert in New York just after the publication of the Churchill in America volume. I took my copy of Volume five of the biography with me to have him sign it which he graciously did. In the line in front of me was a gentleman who had all three of the companion volumes which Sir Martin signed for him. I can only imagine what signed copies of the original companion volumes are worth!

I got mine this past Friday. It's kind of surreal to be honest. Last year, I was doing some research on Churchill before World War II and I tried to get these books through an interlibrary loan.The first two companions were fairly simple. The third companion took months. Many book catalogs have the ISBN listing Volume V and not it's third companion. After numerous attempts, my librarian was diligent enough to keep trying until we got the right book. When I finally got it, I had only three weeks to digest it before it was due. I'm glad I finally have these in my library.
