The Boston Globe link appeared to have expired when I attempted to
access the article, but the phrase quoted also occurs in Amis's
Introduction to the 1992 Everyman's Library edition, Introduction
copyright 1992. I suspect that it is the same text. (Perhaps Martin Amis
was still trying to raise the funds for those teeth and "exploited the
property" as widely as possible.) I am unaware of the distribution of
Everyman's Library in North America, but their editions are available
throughout the territories traditionally serviced by UK publishers.
This edn. is probaly the only hardcover one to be found in Australia,
although the recently opened Borders in Sydney had the Library of
America collection.

The Amis essay cited below originally appeared under the title "LOLITA
Reconsidered" in THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY 270, 3 (Sept. 1992): 109-20.
I cite the same passage in my introduction to VLADIMIR NABOKOV'S LOLITA:
A CASEBOOK, forthcoming from Oxford UP in October 2002.
