Women in Love by D. H. Lawrence is in this catalog because a sourced record documents an at-risk action in United States in 1922. The book was seized in New York and ruled obscene in 1922.
The catalog records the scope as distribution. That is not a claim that the book is banned everywhere, or that a failed complaint has the same force as a prohibition. Open the sources under Bans and restrictions. Unsourced rumors are omitted.
