Lady Chatterly's Lover
Lawrence, D.H , New York: Samuel Roth, 1932, On the verso of the title page are printing the words "Revised, 1930 by William Fao, Inc. ? This edition is an expurgated form of the third manuscript of the famous novel. Controversial scenes have been excised and their absence is marked in the text by a row of asterisks. Because it was still considered obscene, it did not obtain a copyright and was banned in the USA. As a result, many pirated versions were produced. This particular edition pre-dates any authorized expurgated or American edition, which suggests that it is a pirated version of the novel for which Lawrence received no royalties. Edges and spine rubbed and frayed, hinges cracking, pages yellowing.
