FIRST EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT BIOGRAPHY. Vyvyan Richards and T.E. Lawrence were good friends from early college days. They planned at one point to open a printing house together and to specialize in good books printed beautifully. T.E.L. died before the two could realize their early dream. Vyvyan Richards went on to print a number of books including one on the first pages of Caxton's printings done in the 15th century. The book is especially important as it provides a view into Lawrence's efforts and accomplishments as well as his personality and discipline and was written by one of his closest friends and colleagues.
