Revolt in the Desert, with Kennington Endpapers (Gift Edition) [Variant printing]

This is the true second American Gift edition, being the scarcest and preferred issue with the Kennington decorated endpapers which had been designed for the1926 issue of Seven Pillars of Wisdom and with additional plates and illustrations over other editions. An elusive issue with 24 illustrations on full-page plates and with 17 b/w line cuts from the 1926 SP not in any other issue or edition of Revolt in the Desert either in the UK or USA.This is an interesting variant printing with the line drawing missing from page 127, the gathering being slightly shorter. This means that there must have been two different bindings of this Gift edition. All othe bibliographical poins exact, Not referred to in O'Brien or other bibliographies. With a folding map in black and red tipped in at the rear of the volume. 8vo, publisher’s original tan polished buckram lettered in gilt on the spine. xvi, 335 pp. including the index.
