Plans

Viscount Carlow, On Collecting Books and Printing them too’. A short essay of reminiscence relating to the founding of his Corvinus Press and including an account of Lawrence’s loan of the 1922 Oxford text of the ‘Seven Pillars of Wisdom’.

________________________________________

Forrest Reid, A Short Play or Opera founded on The Song of Solomon, Previously unpublished, this typescript lay in the copy  of Reid’s autobiography Private Road which had belonged to Howard Ferguson [Irish Composer 1908 – 1999] whom Reid had once asked to consider setting it to music.

________________________________________

Lewis Carroll , The Hunting of the Snark. Every private press deserves a shot at this marvellous work. I can think of two or three illustrators who would be splendid; one of them, Pete Lawrence, has agreed to consider the project.
