ref. ST15816-12Dublin: Lilliput Press 1997. No. 3 OF 100 SPECIAL COPIES of the "Illegal" First Dublin Edition bound in quarter leather and signed by Rose and Banville from a total edition of 1000 numbered and 26 lettered copies. 240 x 158 mm. 9 1/2 x 6 1/4". 4 p.l. v-lxxxiii 1 739 3 pp.Edited by Danis Rose. With a foreword by John Banville. Publisher's quarter blue morocco over navy cloth boards smooth spine with silver lettering. In a blue buckram slipcase. In mint condition. This is the first printing of Joyce's masterpiece actually to be done in Ireland--75 years after its initial publication. Generally recognized as the most important 20th-century novel in English Joyce's chronicle of Leopold Bloom's odyssey through Dublin excited much controversy upon publication in 1922 and was for years a target of censorship especially in the U.S. and U.K. The present edition also met with some animosity when it was discovered that the editor prominent Joyce scholar Danis Rose used some language from the original manuscripts without permission from Joyce's estate. A lawsuit for copyright infringement was issued and this work subsequently became known as the "Illegal Edition." Despite the unpleasant dispute Rose's "Ulysses" was lauded for its readability and was described by the Irish Times as "a landmark edition for first-time readers and life-time fans." Founded in 1984 and still in operation today the Lilliput Press has published more than 600 titles of Irish interest and is regarded as one of Ireland's most esteemed small publishers. This strictly limited edition of 100 rarely appears for sale: we could trace just one auction appearance at PBA Galleries in 2005 where a copy was sold for $1495 all in. Lilliput Press unknown
1916ref. 172378New York: B. W. Huebsch 1916. To forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race First edition in book form first printing of the author's landmark first novel. The work was serialized in The Egoist between 2 February 1914 and 1 September 1915. British printers were apprehensive to produce a book edition due to the hostile public reaction to the serial and for fear of prosecution under obscenity laws. It was therefore Huebsch of New York who undertook the true first publication in book form issued on 29 December 1916. No more than 750 sets of the American sheets were reserved for British issue by Harriet Shaw Weaver of the Egoist Press in London appearing there the following 22 January 1917. The Egoist Press later produced their own edition the first printed in Britain in 1918. Octavo. Original blue cloth spine lettered in gilt front cover lettered in blind. Brentano's ticket and ink date of 3 December 1917 on rear pastedown. Spine lightly toned bright overall rubbing to edges browning and spot of skinning to endpapers from previous book protector contents clean. A very good copy. Slocum & Cahoon A11. hardcover

ref. 98347New York Crosby Gaige 1928. . FIRST EDITION no. 3 of six numbered copies of 50 COPIES ON PALE GREEN-TINTED PAPER from an overall limitation of 850; 8vo; title previously detached cleanly at gutter now with neat reversible tissue paper repair to verso chip from fore-edge of a preliminary blank leaf slight separation at upper hinge bookplate to front pastedown; publisher's black cloth lettered in gilt on the spine and with triangular gilt design on upper cover top edge gilt presented in morocco-backed cloth drop-back box. The first edition of Anna Livia Plurabelle by James Joyce the text that was to become chapter eight in Finnegans Wake and introduce Joyce readers to the character that fellow Irish author Edna O'Brien was to describe as 'the most accessible and indeed beloved character conceived by Joyce'. Slocum and Cahoon note that: 'Of these 50 copies on light green paper probably 6 were offered for sale by the publisher. These were numbered 1 to 6 with the following notice on p.iv in the handwriting of Crosby Gaige: This is one of 6 copies on green paper. Crosby Gaige.'; however this copy is simply numbered '3' and does not bear the publisher's statement on the limitation page. The remaining 44 copies were presumably disseminated by Crosby Gaige with the exception of a few which were passed on to the Chaucer Head Book Shop New York by Random House in 1938.

1934ref. 24133USA: Random House 1934. First authorised American edition first printing with "First American Edition" stated on the copyright page and no indication of a subsequent printing. Thick octavo measuring approximately 21 × 14 cm. xvii 2 5768 pp. Publisher's original beige cloth lettered in black and red with dark-brown top edge in the original typographical dust wrapper designed by Ernst Reichl. This copy retains the particularly desirable Reichl-signed variant of the dust wrapper with the designer's surname printed vertically at the lower-right corner of the front panel. Two variants of the wrapper are known one bearing Reichl's name and the other without it. Although no conclusive bibliographical priority has been established the signed variant is generally preferred by collectors and commands a premium. The first authorised edition of Joyce's modernist masterpiece to be published in the United States appearing twelve years after the Shakespeare and Company first edition of 1922. The novel had long been prohibited from importation into America on grounds of obscenity. Random House deliberately arranged for a copy to be seized by US Customs in order to test the ban in court culminating in Judge John M. Woolsey's landmark 1933 ruling that Ulysses was not obscene and could legally be admitted and published in the United States. This edition includes a foreword by Morris L. Ernst concerning the historic judgment together with Joyce's letter to Random House publisher Bennett Cerf expressing his desire for an authorised American edition. Ernst Reichl's striking typographical treatment of the binding wrapper and text has subsequently become recognised as a landmark of twentieth-century American book design. The price-clipped dust wrapper is slightly toned to the spine with a little chipping and areas of wear to the extremities. Some spotting to the cloth boards and minor toning internally. A very good copy in the very good original dust wrapper. Random House hardcover
1918ref. 7836New York: B.W. Huebsch 1918. First edition. Fine/Near Fine. Published simultaneously with the English edition on May 25 1918 see Slocum & Cahoon 14 and 15. A Fine copy of the book in Near Fine dust jacket. vi 154 pp. Publisher's green cloth over tan blindstamped boards. A touch of foxing to edges and top edge dusty otherwise clean throughout. Dust jacket rubbed and a bit foxed with just a few short tears to the rear panel. Overall a very appealing copy of Joyce's only play. Exiles captures the romantic dramas of Richard and Bertha a common-law couple recently returned to their home country of Ireland and the complex dynamics that play out between them Richard's cousin Robert and Robert's wife Beatrice. "The play was not especially popular at the time and is commonly regarded as one of Joyce's weaker works. However much of the initial criticism may have had to do with the play's provocative themes: unconventional relationships jealousy weakened national ties to Ireland and exile. All of these topics resonate with Joyce's personal life making Exiles a partly autobiographical work" James Joyce Foundation. After W.B. Yeats refused to stage the play Joyce unsuccessfully attempted to interest theatrical companies throughout England Ireland and the United States. Exiles eventually debuted in German translation in Munich in 1919. Of the premiere Joyce wrote: "Complete fiasco. Row in theatre. Play withdrawn. Author invited but not present.Thank God" Morgan Library. The play was not performed in English until a staging at New York's Neighborhood Playhouse in 1925. Slocum & Cahoon 15.
