Publication: Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1982

Formatting: 8vo, 644 pp.

Condition Report: Very Good. The black cloth binding remains tight and structurally sound, with sharp boards and no significant shelf-wear. The gilt lettering upon the spine's red label remains notably bright and unoxidised. The text block is square, though the top edge exhibits slight dust-speckling and faint handling marks are visible on the fore-edge. The terracotta dust jacket is well-preserved, showing only minor creasing along the top edge and a small, closed nick to the upper fore-edge corner, with no major fading, clipping, or loss. Internally, the pages are clean, bright, and free from foxing. A robust and highly presentable copy.

Catalogue Note: This is the second edition of Warren Roberts’s pre-eminent bibliography of D.H. Lawrence, comprehensively revised and expanded from its original 1963 publication.

The volume features a frontispiece portrait of Lawrence by Jan Juta, alongside numerous details documenting the author's complex publication history, first editions, and periodical contributions. The dedication leaf reads, "For Matthew, Katherine and Justin."

As a cornerstone reference work for literary scholars and collectors alike, copies of this 1982 edition that retain their original dust jackets in such strong condition are becoming increasingly uncommon on the open market.

Warren Roberts’s A Bibliography of D.H. Lawrence remains the gold standard for navigating the intricate publishing history of one of the twentieth century’s most significant and controversial writers. Extensively updated for this second edition, the work provides exhaustive, meticulously researched details on Lawrence’s novels, poetry, essays, and translations, offering an indispensable resource for the seasoned collector, the antiquarian bookseller, and the dedicated literary scholar.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
