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interested in archaeology, until his death in 1935, is recorded almost entirely in his own words: in his letters and in unpublished secret documents and official reports.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.
