[edit] Moved from article
I have moved the following text (added by User:81.159.100.217 on Jan. 14, 2005) from the article:
A personal note. Maurice Girodias entered into an agreement with the New English Library in London in 1965. He became friends with the then managing director and was, despite the above paragraph, anything but a dull sort. It is true that he was a comple idiot in business matters but not, at least in this transaction, seriously dishonest. He understood modern English literature and was an excellent and fast-working editor. He was also surprisingly charming and always said he had made a living as a gigolo when he was in his late teens. The association with the New English Library only lasted about a year as Girodias was very keen on pushing the bounds of censorship until there was a court case which he saw as a potential for great publicity. The management was not in agreement.

I removed the reference to a "T.C." edition of Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover" because there was no such edition. Patk 04:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
