I have posted this append below on a couple of places on this web site as there are so many forums not sure which one is best (so sorry for the duplicate posts)
Books about Joseph Chamberlain.
I bought a set of books about Joseph Chamberlain in a charity shop about a year ago. Set of 4 volumes in hardback, written by Louis Creswicke. I think published in 1904.
Are these books common or fairly rare? I am not looking to make a lot of money on them and quite happy to give them to a university of other place of learning if they are useful for research.
I found what I think are the books listed on another web site (see below), and this describes my set perfectly. Anyone interested (as I say, not trying to make money, just want them to go to the best home)
THE LIFE OF THE RIGHT HONOURABLE JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN (4 Volume set); Creswicke, Louis : London, Caxton Publishing Company, 1904. 4 vols large format red cloth with gilt arms on covers, gilt titles and decoration on spines.
