In addition to the two volumes of text there is a companion book of illustrations,152 pages, which includes the original colour portraits commissioned by Lawrence for the book, and a selection of his war photographs.
This first edition is limited to 752 sets. 80 sets have been bound in full goatskin, and are accompanied by a proof set of the Seven Pillars portraits, and a parallel-text showing intermediate and final texts of the Introduction.
A trade edition of the text is expected in 1999 or 2000.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Paperback Edition Stated. 357 Pages. This is a used copy of a December 2014 Print On Demand (POD) edition in As New condition. Interior text pages are flawless. The print is small font reducing the size of the book. There are 122 chapters. This is the autobiographical account of the experiences of British soldier T. E. Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia, while serving with rebel forces during the Arabian Revolt against the Ottoman Turks. The extraordinary breadth and variety of his activities and associations, and his ability to describe them vividly in writing, earned him international fame as Lawrence of Arabia, a title popularized by the 1962 film based on his life. This book has been called a novel traveling under the cover of autobiography, capturing Lawrence's highly personal and exciting version of the historical events described in the book. It is one of the major statements about the fighting experience of the First World War'. Lawrence's younger brothers, Frank and Will, had been killed on the Western Front in 1915. Seven Pillars of Wisdom, written between 1919 and 1926, tells of the vastly different campaign against the Turks in the Middle East - one which encompasses gross acts of cruelty and revenge and ends in a welter of stink and corpses in the disgusting hospital in Damascus. Seven Pillars of Wisdom is a complex work of high literary aspiration that some have said stands in the tradition of Melville and Dostoevsky, and alongside the writings o Yeats, Eliot and Joyce.
