1st UK edition. ~ Cloth, dj, VG/VG. xvi+232pp, edges of the dustjacket yellowed a little as well as the page edges, related newspaper clippings laid in, latter from the publishers laid in, a nice copy. ~ The first version of Lawrence's most famous work which was written in 1927. In this draft Mellors is called Parkin & is a much simpler character, without the intelligence of Mellors. The book is markedly different from the final version which was scandalously published in Florence in 1928. Each revised draft was an attempt to make the book more suitable & acceptable to the reader.
