<p>The most important book about Winston Churchill published in 1984, our second year of existence, was an encyclopedic three-volume set, CHURCHILL &amp; ROOSEVELT: THE COMPLETE CORRESPONDENCE, edited by WARREN F. KIMBALL.</p> <p><br></p> <p>We are delighted to present Mr. KIMBALL himself reading the opening exchanges from his monumental work of epistolary scholarship.</p> <p><br></p> <p>On October 3, 1984, Chartwell Booksellers hosted its first-ever in-store Churchill event, a publication party for CHURCHILL &amp; ROOSEVELT: THE COMPLETE CORRESPONDENCE and its editor, WARREN F. KIMBALL.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The party coincided with the first exhibition of Churchilliana ever mounted here at Chartwell Booksellers — “Churchill at Chartwell,” a lavish window display series that filled the Park Avenue Plaza arcade with “Churchill First Editions, Autograph Letters, Photographs &amp; Ephemera” for the first time. Since then, we have exhibited literally hundreds of Churchillian rarities, but CHURCHILL &amp; ROOSEVELT: THE COMPLETE CORRESPONDENCE will always remind us of the first.</p> <p><br></p> <p>WARREN F.

A graduate of Georgetown University, he was an academic adviser to the Churchill Centre in London and taught at Rutgers University.
