Just as a clarification, my note mentioning this product was *not* an
endorsement nor an ad of any kind. I was trying to point out that I found it
humorous that Random House found it expedient to use the word "uncensored" in
their publicity (as if one could normally find only "censored" versions in
bookstores or libraries). Also, I was chagrined to see that they quoted a
Chicago newspaper review that referred to the "perfection" of the Kubrick
1962 film version of LOLITA, since there is a broad consensus that that film
was not perfect.
