1089015 - Smiling Sir Allen Lane, Chairman of Penguin Books, shows his audience an orange and white paper-backed copy of D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover during a Press conference at the company's offices in High Holborn, London, after an Old Bailey jury had reached a verdict which means that Lady Chatterley's Lover can be published in Britain just as Lawrence wrote it. (The jury decided that the Penguin Book Company Ltd. were not guilty of publishing an obscene article - an unexpurgated version of the novel). Sir Allen said it would probably be another week when the public could buy the book. 200,000 have been printed so far and another 200,000 to 300,000 will probably be printed. - 2nd November 1960
