First edition, first impression of T.E. Lawrence's Revolt in the Desert, number 278 of an edition of 315 copies, of which 300 were for sale.

This popular abridgement of Seven Pillars of Wisdom was produced to help finance the debts incurred from producing the subscriber-only 'Cranwell' edition. By cutting approximately a third of the text Lawrence succeeded in producing a very readable account of his adventures in Arabia, culminating in the liberation of Damascus.

First edition, first impression, number 278 of 315 copies; 4to (27 x 21 cm); colour portrait frontispiece, 18 plates, 10 of which in colour, folding map to rear, bookplates to front pastedown and free endpaper; original quarter brown pigskin over light brown buckram, spine lettered in gilt, top edge gilt, others uncut, spine faded, a very good copy.
