| Bet those would bring in some bucks with book collectors and military collectors on ebay. Far more than you're asking considering its a 1st. Edition. |

Could well be but like many, I prefer avoid eBay until I have to.  If someone wants to buy them off me and try to sell them for more on eBay, hey go for it. Ha!
It's the first British edition too meaning it's the true first edition so far as I know. Nice black cloth hardcovers underneath. |

You might do well to take them to a local used book shop as well.
If you made $10K of them I'm sure it'd be worth the Ebay hassle. And that's possible. |

Well, they aren't worth anything near that -- I was really only joking when I said that. The prices I've given here are a fair going rate for them.
Mind you, the Churchill set is a pretty good deal as I could see that one going for more like $200+ in many secondhand book shops given condition, edition, etc. |
