LAWRENCE, D.H. Reflections on the Death of a Porcupine. Philadelphia: The Centaur Press. 1925.

8vo. Beige cloth-backed marbled boards, spine lettered in black; top edge blue, others untrimmed; pp. [x], 240, [6]; with the British and Irish agents tag tipped-in to title; housed in the original black slipcase with title tipped on to spine; very minor toning to backstrip; minimal internal foxing, concentrated at endpapers; slipcase expertly repaired, a near fine copy together with the slipcase.

Limited edition of 475 copies for sale in England, of which this is no. 17. This fine publication from The Centaur Press, is a collection of Lawrence's essays which cover diverse subjects including literary criticism, travel writing, and personal reflections on Lawrence's own experiences and thoughts on art, literature, psychology, and society. The titular essay, Reflections on the Death of a Porcupine sees Lawrence reflect on the symbolism and significance of his chance encounter with a dead porcupine whilst walking in the mountains of New Mexico. He uses this as a base from which to explore the human condition and musings on life and death. This collection offers a real insight into Lawrence's versatility as a writer, encapsulating his talent for articulating profound and nuanced insights on a wide range of subjects.

The Centaur Press, founded by Harold Trump Mason (1893-1983), emerged as a beacon of literary and artistic craftmanship in Philadelphia's cultural landscape. Being first The Centaur Bookshop, the space became an important meeting place for the city's intellectual elite. Harold Trump Mason used the popularity of the Bookshop as a platform for celebrating the written word, and in 1924, created The Centaur Press, a venture dedicated to producing quality limited edition fine press volumes. The Press's inaugral publication, Walt Whitman's Song of the BroadAxe, set a precedent for the craftmanship and artistic excellence that defines the Press's legacy.

Sleek, Easy to Use, and Works Perfectly!
Color: Upgrade Silver, Size: Rechargeable
I absolutely love this electric salt and pepper grinder set! The stainless steel design looks modern and elegant on my kitchen counter. They’re super easy to use — just press the button, and you get a consistent grind every time. The adjustable coarseness feature works great for everything from fine salt to coarse pepper. The built-in light is a nice touch when seasoning food at the table or over the stove. Battery life is good, and refilling is simple. Excellent value and quality — highly recommend!

Nice salt and pepper grinder set!
Color: Upgrade Silver, Size: Rechargeable
These are very nice quality. They work really well. You can adjust the coarseness as you prefer. They aren't overly loud. I got them for someone as a gift for someone and I'm going to get myself a set also because I really like them. They charge quickly. Overall, a really nice set that seems like it will last a long time.

No problems here... Great battery life and functions.
Color: Upgrade Silver, Size: Rechargeable
These things hold a charge forever.. I maybe charge them once every 3 or 4 months and use them daily. Good adjustment for coarse or fine grind. I would recommend.

Great grinders, bad recharging stand
Color: Upgrade Silver, Size: Rechargeable
The grinders work amazing and I loved them, but the stand that recharges them stoped working a little after a year.
