All the relevant materials about the Lolita censorship affair, including original version of Nabokov s piece "A Propos de Lolita a ce texte avant la parution de la version originale anglaise". Contains materials by Dupee, Nabokov, Girodias, some sections of the book itself, letters by James Joyce and others on other censorship cases. Bound in yellow with blue label. Numbered edition of 5,000, though exceedingly scarce. Near new condition. This item recently sold to a famed collector in Norway for �950, and this second copy is from the same source (who had two, not a box full!).

Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta.
