There are many bookshops in my book, especially when I discuss how the unexpurgated Lady Chatterley’s Lover <\/em>went on sale in the UK in 1960. \u00a0A Giles cartoon in November 1960 showed a vast queue waiting for a bookshop to open (\u2018Lady Chatterley\u2019s Lover <\/i>on sale here\u2019) and one policeman remarks to another that \u2018All of a sudden we\u2019ve become a literary-minded, puritanical, culture-seeking nation\u2019. \u00a0The plate section in Lady C<\/em> includes two cartoons of bookshops in 1960, one of which shows a woman sending her dog to buy the book because she is too embarrassed to buy the book herself. \u00a0There is also a photograph of a (mostly male) queue to buy the book in London.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dunster House Book Shop<\/strong><\/p>\n In March this year I visited Yale University Press in order to view a unique copy of Lady Chatterley’s Lover. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Guy Cuthbertson, author of Lady C, explores an early copy of D. H. Lawrence\u2019s Lady Chatterley’s Lover used in a sting operation that resulted in imprisonment for one unfortunate Massachusetts-based bookseller in 1929. Thanks to @Maggs Bros. Ltd. for letting us borrow this fascinating book. Lady C: The Long Sensational Life of Lady Chatterley’s Lover is out now. #booksellers<\/a> #publishing<\/a> #nonfiction<\/a> #nonfictionreads<\/a> #newbooks<\/a> <\/p>\n \u266c original sound – Yale University Press London<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n \n
