About this Item
First edition, first printing. Copy number 1. Publisher's original purple marbled wrappers. 20pp. Uncut. An excellent near fine copy, the binding firm and bright with a single closed tear to the upper edge of the lower wrapper. The contents, with the bookplate of John Glen Martner to the inside rear wrapper are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Housed in a purpose made cloth folding case. An exceptional example of the scarce first printing. Written at Villa Bernardo at Potorno towards the end of 1925, and issued in September 1926 in a privately printed edition of only 100 hand-numbered copies, after efforts with Lawrence's usual publishing outlets were unsuccessful. Curtis Brown wrote that the story was "too pagan except for the highbrow reviews". Early in 1928 Harry Crosby wrote to Lawrence requesting to purchase manuscripts and expressing a special interest in "Sun". Lawrence was unable to locate the manuscript, presumed lost or destroyed, and re-wrote the story from memory, from which a new and expanded edition was published by Crosby's Black Sun Press later that year. This stellar example of the original text is copy number 1. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
