The first edition of Lawrence's Revolt in the Desert (1927) in Hebrew.

In an effort to recoup some of the costs of the production of the 1926 edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, British army officer, diplomat and man of letters T. E. Lawrence (1888-1935) first contemplated selling his library at Pole Hill, Chingford, before settling on the publication of an abridgement of Seven Pillars under the title Revolt in the Desert. This effort, undertaken by the author himself, saw the first seven chapters dropped entirely; reducing the size of the text by around a third. However, suggestions that Lawrence refused to countenance publication of any more copies than were necessary to clear the debts owing from the production of the larger Seven Pillars suggests he was not altogether happy with the reduction.

OCLC and COPAC combined record copies at just three locations (BL, LAPL, and Oxford).
