Censorship ruling on Lady Chatterley’s Lover shocks readers
The Postmaster General ruled the unexpurgated edition of Lady Chatterley’s Lover obscene and non mailable, detailing that contemporary standards do not permit its transmission. Advertisements and circulars to obtain the book were also barred. The piece notes broad book lists sold by mail and reflects on camping and youth programs.
