Description

Joyce, James

Ulysses. Paris: Shakespeare and Company, 1922


4to (242 x 190 mm, uncut). Printed on Dutch handmade paper, half-title, number 41 of 100 numbered copies, signed by Joyce below the limitation statement; some minor toning and very faint scattered spotting to first and last leaves, bookplate remnants to endpaper. Publisher's blue wrappers, upper cover lettered in white; an unsophisticated and unrestored example of the notoriously fragile wrappers, joints rubbed with some minor paper loss along lower joint, some rubbing to edges, but the whole without the recoloring and loss often seen. Cloth case. A handsome copy.
