Collins, London, 1955, 1^st Edition, 1^st Issue, Errata on p. 332.  Hard cover, 448 pages including List of Sources, Bibliography, Acknowledgments, and Index.  Very good; black boards with gilt lettering on spine; a few spots on boards; binding sound.  Dust jacket with price intact shows some edge and cover wear, tiny tears along edges, very small losses at corners and spine ends; a few small colour chips.  Book interior clean and unmarked; black & white frontis, photo plates, maps.  ‘The book is primarily an analysis of the career of Lawrence the man of action and the establishment and growth of what I have termed the Lawrence legend.  If I have found that the first was of much less significance than is generally supposed, and the second was largely Lawrence’s own doing, this is not to deny that Lawrence was a man of peculiar abilities.’ (from Introductory Letter)
