Catalogue Note
The limited issue of the first trade edition of Lawrence’s epic masterpiece. This copy includes the original (blank) dust-jacket. In addition there is a publisher's four page prospectus issued by Doubleday, Doran and Company (noted on page 3) and Dutton's Inc. (noted on page 4). This is apparently unrecorded by O'Brien.
