I was living in England when post #134 of my and homage on , by , was published in 1987. And I recall the Thatcher government's ban on its sale in the UK and strident their attempts to do likewise in Australia, with Wright's publishers defended by a brash young .

Turnbull won the case in Australia, and the Law Lords overturned the UK ban in 1988. Sometime after that, I bought my secondhand copy of Spycatcher for £1.50.
