Jisc LSD lists only two holdings in the UK: UoCambridge and UoNottingham (part of the George Lazarus bequest). Roberts and Poplawski Appendix I, A:VI William Faro, Inc. was the short-lived trade imprint of infamous American publisher Samuel Roth (1893-1974), who established the company in 1930 and issued books through 1934, with the firm going bankrupt in 1933. Alongside its Ardent Classics and Modern Amatory Classics reprint series, Faro published sequels to its successful pirated editions of Lady Chatterley's Lover. In their 'Appendix I, A: Parodies of and sequels to Lady Chatterley's Lover,' Roberts and Poplawski describe a green cloth copy of Lady Chatterley's Friends, but note that Gertzman describes a black cloth variant. He also identifies the ghost-writer as Clement Wood.
