I might have something valuable

I bought a book at a library book sale that advertised that it was a "complete, uncensored, unabridged copy of ‘Sons and Lovers’ by D.H. Lawrence. It’s being sold on the internet for $25.00 right now, but I’m thinking maybe they’re sandbagging the price to get as many copies of this book as they can. I did some poking around, and I found out that the 1992 Cambridge edition of “Sons and Lovers” was the first, uncensored, unabridged edition of this very highly regarded novel. There are less than 1500 copies of it. My copy is in very good condition, and it is signed by D.H. Lawerence. I don’t know if it really has value or not, but I figure that it won’t hurt me to hang on to it for a while.

I think that is the original first edition. It’s pricy. If my book is really worth something, it is probably around $500 to $750.
