1st Edition.

Lawrence, T E : Seven Pillars of Wisdom : a triumph

Jonathan Cape, London and Toronto, 1935

672 pages (complete). A characterful copy of this first edition of the first publication for public circulation. This edition is of the first run of the first edition as it has the incorrect pagination for Kennington's line drawing of "The Forced Landing" (302-303, but in this edition 304-305). This was corrected in subsequent editions. The sable coloured cloth boards are much worn and scuffed and marked. They are benign, calm. Pages are not trimmed. The contents are mild-mannered, pleasing. They are, despite occasional flushes of foxing, clean, clear, comfortable, attractive, carefully printed (by Alden Press) and produced. A welcoming book. fk. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: No Jacket

First Edition.

4to; original brown buckram, with gilt lettering to spine, and gilt crossed-swords device to upper cover; tinted top edge; pp. 672, incl. index; plates; four folding maps. Gift inscription dated Christmas 1935 on front free endpaper; spotting to edges; some scattered foxing. Good. "The Seven Pillars is a matchless text-book on the tactics and strategy of irregular warfare written by the foremost military theorist of modern times; next, one of the most exciting adventure books ever published; and yet, in its final dressed-up form, a monumental warning to men of action not to succumb to the lures of literary art." - Robert Graves, Lawrence's biographer, in an article in the June 10, 1950 issue of the Leader Magazine, loosely inserted in this book.
