1) LAWRENCE, D. H., and M. L. SKINNER. THE BOY IN THE BUSH. (London: Martin Secker, 1924) 196 x 130 mm. (7 3/4 x 5"). 1 p.l. (blank), vi, 369, [7] pp. FIRST EDITION. Publisher's straw-colored cloth boards, covers with frame ruled in black, smooth spine with lettering in black, top edge dyed black, bottom edge untrimmed, fore-edge trimmed, a few leaves unopened. With the original dust jacket printed in red. Housed in a grey cloth chemise and slipcase backed in purple-gray morocco (spine sunned to tan), raised bands, gilt lettering. Pastedown with gilt morocco armorial bookplate of Beach with the motto "Tout en Bonne Heure." Roberts A29. Jacket a little soiled in places and with a few minor tape repairs along folds on back; a little offsetting to endleaves from binder's glue, but the binding and contents in very fine condition. Set in Western Australia in the 1880s, this work, a collaboration between D. H. Lawrence and Mary Louisa ("Mollie") Skinner, follows the exploits of a young Englishman called Jack Grant, who has come to the colony in search of a fresh start. According to Roberts, Skinner had shown her manuscript, originally titled "The House of Ellis," to Lawrence in 1922; Lawrence rewrote substantial parts of the text and also suggested the new title. 2) LAWRENCE, D. H. ST. MAWR, TOGETHER WITH THE PRINCESS. (London: Martin Secker, 1925) 195 x 135 mm. (7 3/4 x 5 1/4"). 238 pp., [1] leaf. FIRST EDITION, First State. Publisher's brown cloth, covers with blind-stamped frame, smooth spine with gilt lettering, bottom edge untrimmed, others trimmed. Housed in a brown cloth chemise and slipcase backed in brownish-red morocco, raised bands, later dark green morocco labels with gilt lettering (in excellent condition, but slightly oversized for the dimensions of the book). Without the dust jacket. Roberts A31a. A hint of rubbing to extremities and corners very gently bumped, edges of text block a bit foxed, occasional minor foxing internally (though somewhat heavier in first and last few signatures), but still a very good copy in an excellent binding. Written while Lawrence was in New Mexico, the two stories included in this work both feature female protagonists and are set in Taos area. 3) THE PLUMED SERPENT. (London: Martin Secker, 1926) 198 x 128 mm. (7 3/4 x 5"). 476 pp., [2] leaves (excerpts of reviews). FIRST EDITION. Publisher's brown cloth, covers with blind-stamped frame, smooth spine with gilt lettering, partially UNOPENED. Housed in a light green cloth chemise and matching slipcase backed in dark green morocco (spine faded to tan and with spotting to top of cloth, apparently not custom made for this book and thus a little oversized), raised bands, later dark green morocco labels with gilt lettering. Without the uncommon dust jacket. Roberts A33. A hint of rubbing to extremities, top edges slightly bumped, otherwise the binding in excellent condition; a couple spots of foxing to endleaves, but THE CONTENTS NEAR PRISTINE. This is a fine copy of the work that Lawrence considered his most important to date, written largely while the author was in Mexico, and set in the days following the Mexican Revolution. 4) MORNINGS IN MEXICO. (London: Martin Secker, 1927) 208 x 150 mm. (8 1/8 x 6"). 178 pp., [1] leaf (blank). FIRST EDITION. Publisher's mustard brown buckram, gilt lettering on spine, top edge stained green, fore edge rough trimmed, and bottom edge untrimmed. Housed in a light brown cloth chemise and slipcase backed in tan morocco, with raised bands and gilt lettering (light spotting to top edge, slight darkening to spine, otherwise fine). Without the dust jacket. Roberts A37. Cloth with fading to spine and edges, one corner slightly bumped, half title somewhat foxed, occasional minor foxing to gutters or edges, other negligible imperfections (including a couple of rough openings), but still a very nice copy. This collection of travel essays was primarily written while the author was visiting the American Southwest and Mex.
