Green wraps in much better condition than would be expected for age. Sharp corners and no wear at spine ends although panel is browned. Delightful drawings and cartoons by Paul Hogarth in the text, to the title page and front wrap. Solid firm binding and clean and unmarked text block with a little age-related toning. Details the public prosecution in the UK of Penguin under the Obscene Publications Act 1959 for the publication of D. H. Lawrence's 1928 novel Lady Chatterley's Lover. The trial took place over six days. The trial was a test case of the defence of public good provision under section 4 of the Act which was defined as a work "in the interests of science, literature, art or learning, or of other objects of general concern". The jury found for the defendant in a result that ushered in the liberalisation of publishing, and which some saw as the beginning of the permissive society in Britain.
