About This Item
London: Botolph Printing for Martin Secker, 1931. First Edition, a very attractive printing limited to only 2000. Tall 8vo, publisher's original green cloth, the spine lettered in gilt and with the phoenix in gilt to the upper cover, the cloth with bevelled edges, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. 97, (1) pp. A pleasing copy, the book tight and strong and clean, light mellowing to the spine panel, the dustjacket complete with some wear FIRST EDITION AND A VERY FINE COPY. This work was originally titled THE ESCAPED COCK and was published in Paris by the Black Sun Press in 1929, Lawrence decided upon this new title shortly before his death. The text of the two is substantially similar but some technical differences were made. The Secker printing is quite attractive, essentially as a fine press work of the period, limited and on especially nice paper.
