The book Fanny Hill was illegally sold in the US in the 1800s .
In the 19th century , copies of the book were sold `` underground '' , and it was not until 1963 , after the failure of the British obscenity trial of Lady Chatterley 's Lover in 1960 that Mayflower Books , with Gareth Powell as Managing Director , published an unexpurgated paperback version of Fanny Hill .
