JOYCE, JAMES. ULYSSES. London & Paris: Egoist Press - John Rodker
1922. First Edition. The First English Edition, printed in France from
the plates of the original edition. Copy #821 of 2000 numbered copies
printed on handmade paper, of which some 500 are supposed to have been
seized and burnt by United States Customs officials though the
evidence for this is not conclusive. Rebound without the original
wraps in full drab green cloth with gilt lettering on the spine. The
eight pages of "Errata" are bound at the end before the colophon. An
interesting copy in that gathering 6 (pages 81-96) have been
misprinted and misimposed with pages 81, 84, 85, 88, 89, 92, 93, and
96 repeated while pages 82, 83, 86, 87, 90, 91, 94, and 95 have been
omitted. Quite possibly a unique printing error for this title. Top
margin of one page chipped not affecting text. Covers solid but dull.
Very Good $1500
