This copy still has its original 'Lawrence of Arabia Memorial' brochure that was loosely inserted by the publishers.
All maps and portraits of the various personalities Lawrence describes are present. Of note is the incorrect page numbers for the line drawing titled 'A Forced Landing'. In the list of illustrations it is incorrectly indicated as being on pages 302-303 when it is in fact on pages 304-305. This error was corrected in later impressions.
Winston Churchill called this the greatest book to be written in the English language.
