Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. A first impression of the true first edition, published in November 1938. Illustrated with sixteen quality black and white illustrations including photographic plates including full-page frontispiece showing: 'Lawrence, Hogarth and Alan Dawnay at Cairo' to the fore and four maps: two folding maps and two text-maps, as called for. All illustrations and maps present and in nice condition. The book was very popular from the outset, and was quickly reprinted. This copy is in the first state, with two specific typographical errors: the word "Baltic" on page 182 (corrected to "Balkan" in later printings) and the signature "T.E.L." on page 495 (corrected to "T.E.S." in later printings). ***Very good in yellow-ochre buckram boards with gilt titles to the spine - the gilt is still beautifully bright, having been protected by the dustwrapper. Top edge of page block stained dark orange by the publisher - only slightly faded and darkened. There are some creases to the top and tail of the spine, and the corner tips, but the book is otherwise undamaged. No reading lean to the substantial binding. Spine tight. Internally near fine with none of the usual foxing. Pages clean. Just the slightest of creasing to a few top corner tips. ***In a very good buff-coloured and black and red printed dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 25s. net (a substantial amount for a pre-war book). The dustwrapper is complete, without loss - just some light rubbing and creasing to the extremities, and a couple of small nicks and closed tears (please see scans). No serious creases, chips or tears. There are some marks on the front panel but the plain back panel is surprisingly clean. The spine of the dustwrapper is clean and fresh, with none of the usual darkening, and titles unfaded. ***240mm x 170mm. 896 pages including a detailed Index at the back of the book. ***Sections: Archaeology; The War; Dog Fight in Downing Street; The Years of Hide and Seek; Flying Boats. Includes letters to Winston Churchill, John Buchan, Gertrude Bell, Robert Bridges, David Garnett, E. M. Forster, Bernard Shaw, Henry Williamson amongst many other recipients. ***'In this book the career of T. E. Lawrence from the time he was a schoolboy, interested in archaeology, until his death in 1935, is recorded almost entirely in his own words: in his letters and in unpublished secret documents and official reports. ***His intellectual development - the growth of his mind and spirit - is recorded almost week by week, and the details of his life are exactly documented. Lawrence had hundreds of friends, men and women in all ranks of society, and he wrote the brilliant self-revealing letters to them. He is one of the very great letter-writers. almost all his correspondence has been put at the disposal of the editor, who has been allowed to make use of papers in the archives of Government Departments. The reader of this book will find that it destroys the mystery of Lawrence and establishes more firmly his titles to greatness - not only as a soldier and a writer - not because of what he did, but because of what he was.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A first impression of the true first edition, complete in its original unclipped dustwrapper, with all illustrations including the four maps, two of which are folding maps, of this 1938 classic title, in very nice, collectable condition. A huge and comprehensive collection of his letters, of interest to literary academics and historians researching T. E. Lawrence and collectors of T. E. Lawrence. A very nice copy indeed. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. …

Quarter leather. First and limited edition. This is the publisher's quarter goatskin limited edition of T. E. Lawrence's Correspondence with Edward and David Garnett, an important installment in the T. E. Lawrence Letters series published by Castle Hill Press, the premier editors and fine press publishers of material by and about T. E. Lawrence, founded by Lawrence's official biographer, Jeremy Wilson (1944-2017).The edition is limited to a total of 377 numbered copies, of which 45 (copies #41-85) were beautifully bound thus for subscribers, in quarter brown goatskin with gilt spine print over brown cloth boards with double blind rule transition, top edge gilt, white and brown silk head and tail bands, and marbled endpapers. The volume is housed in the publisher's felt-lined, brown cloth slipcase. The publisher's 45 quarter goatskin copies feature special content, a 14-page supplement that contains the surviving (unerased) marginal annotations by Edward Garnett on the Oxford Times proof of Seven Pillars of Wisdom.This copy is hand-numbered "74" on the limitation page. This copy is as-new, among the publisher's last copies, acquired by us directly from the publisher, the binding pristine, the contents immaculate.T. E. Lawrence (1888-1935) achieved fame from his remarkable odyssey as instigator, organizer, hero, and tragic figure of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, which he began as an eccentric junior intelligence officer and ended as "Lawrence of Arabia."But Lawrence's literary and intellectual reach far exceeded the world and words ofSeven Pillars of Wisdom. To the point, Lawrence's friend Winston Churchill said:"Lawrence had a full measure of the versatility of geniusa savant as well as a soldier. an archaeologist as well as a man of action an accomplished scholar as well as an Arab partisan a mechanic as well as a philosopher.His background of somber experience and reflection only seemed to set forth more brightly the charm and gaiety of his companionship, and the generous majesty of his nature."(Great Contemporaries, p. 166)This volume charts and reveals Lawrence's literary ambitions, as well as his engaging facility as a correspondent. From the publisher: "Garnett, at the time one of the most influential figures in the British literary world, was the first critic to read Seven Pillars. He became Lawrence's literary mentor and they remained friends for the rest of Lawrence's life. From 1928 Edward Garnett's son David, a noted novelist, also corresponded with Lawrence. Both father and son constantly urged Lawrence to continue writing. David Garnett would later edit the first major collection of Lawrence's letters Correspondence with Edward and David Garnett contains many important letters that set out Lawrence's writing ambitions and self-criticisms, while others reveal how much he had studied and practised the craft of writing. Some of the correspondence has been published or partially published in general collections, but all the letters gain considerably from being presented in the context of the entire surviving correspondence, accompanied by scholarly notes. The volume documents, among other things, the history of Garnett's 1922 abridgement of the 'Oxford' Seven Pillars which, at Bernard Shaw's behest, Lawrence decided not to publish The correspondence also proves beyond any possible doubt that it was not until Lawrence accepted the subscription scheme for the 1926 edition of Seven Pillars that he decided to make no money, personally, from the book. If fame corresponded to achievement, Edward Garnett would be a famous name in English literature for the help he gave to aspiring writers such as D. H. Lawrence, Joseph Conrad, and others. But he was by nature a 'back-room boy'. He avoided fame, refusing the offer of public honours that he richly deserved. Lawrence, however, had no doubt how deeply he was in Garnett's debt. In gratitude he gave Garnett the manuscript of his second book, The Mint.".…
