About this Item

The deluxe issue of the first edition, printed on handmade paper at The Curwen Press and limited to 120 numbered copies (this being #11). 8vo. 85pp + [xiii] advertisements. Buckram-backed paper-covered boards, lettered in gold at the spine and with a three-colour design to the upper board. Boards lightly soiled in places and with just a hint of toning to the free endpapers. A very good copy. No dust wrapper, possibly as issued. Includes Herbert Read's somewhat controversial and defamatory seven-page review of T.E.Lawrence's 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' ("By the time this note appears, the topical interest of Colonel Lawrence's book will have subsided…the meditative reader will wonder if, after all, it was a great book: whether all that the reviewers said about it was really true; whether Bernard Shaw is to be trusted as a critic of literature; and what good, finally, is the newspaper reputation of any book"). Also includes Lascelles Abercrombie's 'Bothwell's End (Fragment of an unfinished play)', plus further reviews by John Rothenstein, Roger Hinks, Harold Child and others. O'Brien F0093.
