Travels in Arabia Deserta
Charles M. Doughty · Cambridge University Press (Cambridge) · 1888
Neither the 1908 abridgment, Wanderings in Arabia (Edward Garnett's two-volume condensation of the text, published by Duckworth & Co. because Duckworth would not undertake the full unabridged work), nor the 1921 Jonathan Cape/Medici Society reissue with a new introduction by T. E. Lawrence, is the 1888 first edition; the 1921 printing reproduces Doughty's complete text in two volumes rather than abridging it, so genuine first editions are identified by the Cambridge University Press imprint, green cloth, and uncut edges rather than by any Lawrence connection.
