Lady Chatterley's Lover
The Rechler copy
LAWRENCE, D.H (1885-1930). Lady Chatterley's Lover. Florence: Privately Printed, 1928.

First edition, number 19 of 1000 copies signed by Lawrence, the very fine Rechler copy with the scarce dust jacket. Lawrence commissioned the Tipografia Guintina in Florence to print Lady Chatterley's Lover in the spring of 1928 after it was rejected by several English publishers. He planned to sell the one thousand numbered copies for £2 each and sent order forms to friends in America and Europe who acted as agents in distributing copies. By December 1928, Lawrence had nearly sold all one thousand copies despite the fact that the novel was about to be suppressed in London and was stopped from entering the United States.

Octavo. Original brown boards stamped in black, with printed paper spine label, uncopened, with the rare plain cream dust jacket (slight darkening to edges); custom box (side cracked). Provenance: Roger Rechler (his sale, Christie's New York, 11 October, 2002, lot 190).
