Subscribers Edition 1926 - Seven Pillars of Wisdom - T.E.Lawrence
http://www.pbagalleries.com/search/item150454.php

okay, maybe not this edition, it's worth a bit more than my house, I'd have to have more than a million to justify buying it. ;D

But if I had to say which is my favourite book of his, it's The Mint. I have copies of all his books, and some of the first edition public printings, (I was extremely lucky because some TEL fan had purchased all the first editions of books by him and about him from the 30's to the 50's, and they were in my uni library, but only a few people had ever checked them out, and they sold the lot to me (about a dozen books) for just $12 dollars) WIN. I can never have too many (good) books about Ned, alas, most of the bios are crap crap crap.

But if you are looking for high quality re-printings of his work, best go here:

This is my treasure: an Iconography of T.E.Lawrence - a book consisting of quality reproductions of every known portrait of Ned, limited edition of 1,000 signed by author, and I have copy no.15

Oh DUH, my copy of a book on the making of the Lawrence of Arabia film signed by Peter O'Toole. That's the other one.
Of course there looking for other stuff.

2ft blow up astronaunt doll from Air and Space Museum (kids had nurseries with star and space motifs)
X Files 'Trust no One' mug that changes when you have a hot drink
Tarot cards
Mother's china (it's new, not antique) I thought my sister took that. but I think we are still missing half ... maybe that's in the garage. It's not a pattern I like, but maybe daughter will want it. I liked the 40's china with yellow roses, I know sister has that ... maybe?
the boccie ball set
some gilt picture frames that are very 90's to look at now (I think I was on a gold decorating kick)
Tom Corbett Space Cadet metal lunchbox (must have gone with kids room)

daughter is now playing with blow up astronaunt and doesn't remember it at all, well, I didn't remember it either!

is a site (much like Zazzle, Printfection etc.) where you can upload your own designs, have them printed on fabrics from cotton to silk AND you can sell your designs!

also for fabric lovers - looking for something unique,

I've also seen fabric printed with doll patterns, so your customer needs only cut the shapes out, sew together and stuff!

lots of retro and pop culture styles (ninjas! police boxes! squids in space!)
