Ulysses
New York: Random House, 1934. First authorized American edition. Hardcover. 8vo. [6], vii-xvii, [5], 5-767, [7] pp. Pale buckram cloth over beveled-edge boards, black and red lettering on the front board and spine; dark purple topstain. Price of 3.50 on the front flap of the dust jacket. The jacket does not state the jacket designer's name on the front panel. Slocum and Cahoon do not address the question of the designer's name credit, though many consider the credit's presence on the jacket to be the preferred variant (we have seen this point referred to as a state and as an issue). Slocum and Cahoon 21. A sharp copy of Joyce's modern epic, an impressionistic comic tour de force using the epic narrative as a framework. A cultural blend of Irish wit and Greek literary devices and themes, dense but beloved and extraordinarily influential. Near Fine / Very Good or better. Item #000016927
The spine's cloth very gently toned, the free front endpaper with two faint wrinkles to its corner; jacket with about three tiny chips on its folds.
