Notes on Lawrence's Sons and Lovers This title began with the series number 109 in 1923. New plates were created for this title in 1933. The new plates resulted in a decrease in the page count from 517 to 491 even though there was no real change to the content. For a list of other titles where new plates resulted in a change to the page count while the content remained the same, see Book Block Plate Varieties. According to Barry Neavill, "Viking Press published Sons and Lovers in Compass Books, its quality paperback series, in 1958, and the ML edition was discontinued in 1959. Viking probably terminated the ML's reprint contract when the Compass paperback was published, but they gave the ML time to sell out its stock." In 1962 this title's number was changed to 333 (and its original number reassigned to Camus' The Plague) and a new intro was added.
