“Lawrence of Arabia and Seven Pillars of Wisdom”

Lawrence (T.E.). Rota (Bertram) Offprinted from The Texas Quarterly, Vol.5, No.3. Together with articles on “T.E. Lawrence as a writer” by Gordon Mills and “The T.E. Lawrence Collection at the University of Texas” by Ann Bowden Illustrations (including facsimiles of Lawrence’s MS record of the writing, printing and distribution of Seven Pillars which is the basis of Bertram Rota’s article, and the first page of the earliest surviving MS of Seven Pillars) [Austin, Texas],  Autumn 1962 First Edition    Wrappers Very nice copy. With authorial manuscript corrections  Bertram Rota was never shown a proof of his article and on first seeing the published text he spotted four egregious misprints which he corrected, or caused to be corrected, in every copy he could find.
