JOYCE James
Verbannte Exiles Inscribed Association Copy
Zurich: Rascher & Cie. 1919. The first German edition of Joyce's play Exiles and the first of his works to be published in translation in any language. One of 600 copies printed: Joyce was living in Zurich at the time and he paid for the publication of this book out of his own pocket. This copy is inscribed by the author: "To J.R. sic Watson Jun / with grateful regards / James Joyce / 8. ix. 1919." J.S. Watson Jr. was at the time the co-owner of the modernist literary journal The Dial which he bought from Martyn Johnson with his friend and fellow Harvard graduate Scofield Thayer. Watson became president of the magazine and Thayer became its editor. The "grateful regards" refers to a gift of $300 that Watson had sent Joyce earlier in the year at the urging of Thayer who had himself sent Joyce $700. These sums bailed Joyce out of dire financial straits allowed him to settle a court case against him and helped him support the theater group that he had associated with in Zurich the English Players. In 1920 The Dial published a piece by Joyce and in 1921 Thayer was one of his most ardent and influential supporters in the censorship case in New York against Ulysses and its publication in the Little Review. A notable association copy of Joyce's first translation. Slocum & Cahoon D44. Pages browned and acidified and covers strengthened at all the edges and spine with tape with a hole cut in the spine for the title to show through. The first blank on which the inscription appears is also strengthened at the edges with tape. Fragile and a candidate for de-acidification but a significant association copy from a critical point in Joyce's life and career. Unless otherwise noted our first editions are first printings. First Edition. Softcover. Good. Rascher & Cie. paperback books

Joyce James et al.
TRANSITION
Paris The Hague etc. 1938. Whole numbers 1-14 and 18 through 27 in 23 issues of 25 published bound up in eight volumes gilt cloth original wrappers and some cover slips bound in. Accompanied by two issues #15 and double number 16/7 in original wrappers and two supplements in original wrappers. A few wrappers show modest soiling those issues which inevitably show slight to a bit more than slight tanning to the text stock do so here some minor soiling and a few isolated spots to the cloth bindings tidemark at the toe of the spine of the volume containing 21/22/23 with some slight isolated rippling to some of the plates issues 15 and 16/17 lightly worn but unusually nice for these particular issues. Withal a good to largely very good or better run. A complete run of the most famous and influential expatriate literary periodical of its times edited by Eugene Jolas and various associate editors. This is a good association set with additions bound for and with the ownership signature in the second volume of poet/publisher James Laughlin who dedicated the premiere volume of his annual NEW DIRECTIONS IN PROSE & POETRY to "The Editors The Contributors & The Readers of TRANSITION who have begun successfully The Revolution of the Word." Issues number 1 and 6 are denoted second editions ie. printings with #1 now printing the correct order for Stein's "An Elucidation." Accompanied by the separate pamphlet printing of the corrected version of "An Elucidation" issued at Stein's insistence concurrent with the appearance of the first printing of issue #1. Also present is a fine copy of the supplement to issue #23 printing the collective "Testimony Against Gertrude Stein" in response to various slights errors or attacks made by her in THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ALICE B. TOKLAS. Maria and Eugene Jolas Georges Braque Henri Matisse André Salmon and Tristan Tzara are the respondents. In addition to providing the forum for the serial publication of Joyce's WORK IN PROGRESS TRANSITION records a virtual who's who of the literary innovators of the times with the notable exception of Ezra Pound whose lack of affinity with one of the most frequent contributors may have led him to steer a separate course.

Joyce James et al: Roth Samuel ed & pub
TWO WORLDS A LITERARY QUARTERLY DEVOTED TO THE INCREASE OF THE GAIETY OF NATIONS
New York 1926. Volume one numbers one through four. Four volumes. Printed wrappers. Some tanning to wrappers from interaction with the slipcases but a very good set in somewhat edgeworn but uncommon slipcases that for number one lacking the rear panel and the label for that for number two somewhat wrinkled. Edited by Samuel Roth with associates including at least in name for the first two numbers Ezra Pound and Ford Madox Hueffer. The notorious periodical best remembered and justly reviled for its piracy of the installments from Joyce's WORK IN PROGRESS. While much of the material is reprinted with or without authorization from other sources Carl Rakosi and Louis Zukofsky both make early appearances in this volume. Three of the issues and one of the slipcases bear a number - although not the same number - in their limitation statements. HOFFMAN et al p.279. SLOCUM & CAHOON C65. unknown books

JOYCE JAMES LOUIS BERRONE ED.
James Joyce in Padua. Edited Translated and Introduced by Louis Berrone
New York: Random House 1977. First Edition. Signed and inscribed in the year of publication by the author Louis Berrone at the front free endpaper: To Denis Guerin on the train from New York to New Haven - an Irish Texan from Parnell’s Court in Yankee Connecticut - Best regards Louis Berrone November 19 1977â€. Fine copy in a fine dust jacket. From the publisher: “These essays were only recently recovered from the archives of the University of Padua by Louis Berrone of Fairfield University. Because Professor Berrone was interested in the influence of Dickens on Joyce he made a special trip to Padua hoping he would be able to find the manuscript mentioned by Joyce in a letter to his brother dated April 25 1912.†To our benefit Berrone’s treasure hunt uncovered two essays by Joyce - one on Dickens and another on the Renaissance. Included in this book is a detailed description of Joyce’s life in Padua during the time he wrote the essays and how this setting and context influenced Joyce’s future works in both fiction and nonfiction. Rare signed. Random House unknown books

Original cream wrappers printed in green and black with Masson design on front cover. One-inch chip from bottom of spine covers a bit soiled front wrapper starting.

Frontispiece and cover design by André Masson illustrated with photos. 195 5 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. One of 50 Copies - with a Joyce Contribution. Compendium of Joyceana which contains an anonymous piece clearly by Joyce himself entitled "Ad-Writer". It is a very funny letter to one "Mr. Huntington" in which Joyce suggests strategies for the marketing of his friend Italo Svevo's novel CONFESSIONS OF ZENO which is about a tobacco addict's attempts to quit smoking Svevo was literaly rescued from oblivion by Joyces discovery of him.<br/><br/><br/><br/>" . With regard to that other book by the author of Senilitá the only things I can suggest as like to attract the British reading public are a preface by Sir James Barrie author of My Lady Nicotine opinions of the book to be printed on the back of its jacket from two deservedly popular personalities of the present day such as the rector of Stiffkey and the Princess of Wales and on the front of the jacket a coloured picture by a Royal Academician representing two young ladies one fair and the other dark but both distinctly nice-looking seated in a graceful though of course not unbecoming posture at a table on which a book stands upright with title visible and underneath the picture three lines of simple dialogue for example:<br/><br/><br/><br/> Edith: Does Cyril spend too much on cigarettes<br/><br/> Doris: Far too much.<br/><br/> Ethel: So did Percy points - till I gave him ZENO."<br/><br/><br/><br/>This copy though clearly not "bound" not on "Renage pur fil" and seemingly identical in every way to the "trade issue" -- is nonetheless undeniably Copy No. 20 of 50.

8vo. London: Grant Richards Ltd 1914. 8vo 278 pp. Original maroon cloth backstrip and upper cover titled in gilt. A very good copy backstrip slightly sunned a few light bumps ands scuffs to the lower board front hinge tender. § First edition of Joyce's first prose work a collection of short stories about his "dear dirty Dublin" published on June 15th 1914 after considerable travails. Richards had first agreed to publish the book in 1906 but the project was dropped when Joyce refused to amend "objectionable" passages. Joyce's retort is famous: "It is not my fault that the odour of ashpits and old weeds and offal hangs around my stories. I seriously believe that you will retard the course of civilisation in Ireland by preventing the Irish people from having one good look at themselves in my nicely polished looking-glass." Arrangements with Elkin Mathews and Maunsel likewise fell through until eventually Richards agreed to take up the book again. 1250 copies were printed 504 of which were sold to B.W. Huebsch for the American edition making this one of only 746 copies of the English first edition. Grant Richards Ltd hardcover books
