Sobre este artículo
First edition, second issue - often called the "cheap paper issue." One of a mere 200 copies.
The first printing of Lady Chatterley's Lover occurred between April and June 1928 in a run of 1000 numbered and signed copies. As the year progressed, police raids and customs interceptions became more frequent and successful. Probably towards the end of November, with the first printing nearly sold out and Lawrence keen to undercut the increasing numbers of piracies, he brought out this small publication of 200 copies on common paper printed from the type used earlier that year. It was all but sold out by the end of December. (Roberts A42b)
Original mulberry wrappers, uncut, small closed tear at upper spine else a Fine, bright copy. Housed in a slipcase. A fragile book that's difficult to find in this excellent condition. A book of importance for the lasting role it played in the sexual and free speech revolutions of the 20th century.

Sinopsis
D.H. Lawrence's 1928 novel Lady Chatterley's Lover holds the distinguished title of being one the most banned books in history. Infamous for its explicit descriptions of sex and other vulgarities, it was only published openly in the United Kingdom in 1960. The book focused on the illicit affair between an upper-class woman and her lower-class gamekeeper, and it was received with outrage and intrigue, resulting in numerous abridged versions being published throughout the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. Because the first edition was so quickly banned from public consumption, there are many abridged and censored versions available, though few are as valuable as the original. The first printings were bound with brown boards with an insignia of a phoenix gracing its front cover. The phoenix has remained a potent symbol for the book, in large part because of the book's victory in the infamous British Obscenity Trial in 1960. D.H. Lawrence was a well-known English author who wrote many novels, short stories, and books of poetry. Not just an author, Lawrence was also a well-respected literary critic who wrote several essays regarding other famous writers, including Edgar Allen Poe, Herman Melville, and Walt Whitman.
