Portraits of a Geniuis, but... The Life  of D. H. Lawrence, written by Richard Aldington | Published by William Heinemann
"Portrait of a Genius, But..." is a biography of D.H. Lawrence, written by his friend Richard Aldington, chronicling his life from 1885 to 1930, focusing on Lawrence's tumultuous life and creative genius. 
This is a first edition hardback book. The letters are gold gilded on the spine, with a lively embossed gold emblem on the front.
In very good vintage condition. The pages are tanned, as is to be expected from a book that is over 80 years old. However, the spine is solid with all pages in tact and still remain crisp. 
With beautiful covers, aged pages and timeless stories, vintage books make for beautiful gifts. Holding a small bit of history in your hands, they offer a glimpse into the last and gives the opportunity to read the literature in their original form.
A lovely gift for a book lover
