1917réf. 463618New York: B.W. Huebsch 1917. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Second printing April 1917 of the American edition the first edition was published in December 1916 preceding the English edition. Octavo. 299pp. Blue cloth stamped in blind and gilt. Contemporary bookplate of Walter A. Donnelly on the front pastedown and his ownership signature on the front fly else very near fine in attractive very good or better second printing dustjacket with several old internal tape repairs mostly at the folds and not visible on the outside. The text of the second printing jacket appears to be identical to the text of the first printing although laid out slightly differently with "Second printing" overstamped in red on the front panel. Joyce's landmark first novel. Huebsch printed 1250 sets of sheets for the first edition selling 500 sets to England for the Egoist Press edition which was published later thus the true first edition in this case the American edition preceded the English was 750 copies. We are unaware of the number of copies in the second printing but it was likely to have been quite small perhaps as few as 500 copies. Although the first edition is rare in jacket we've at least seen a few jacketed copies. This is the first copy we've seen of the second printing in the appropriate jacket. B.W.

1907réf. 177849London: Elkin Mathews 1907. Love and laughter song-confessed / When the heart is heaviest First edition first issue of the author's first book prompting his resignation from his employment at a bank two months before publication. "These delicate lyrical verses were the work of the young poet of the college years and later" contrasting with the fiction which proved "a reversal of the earlier mood and view of the world" Costello p. 273. Publication took place on 10 May 1907 in a run of 509 copies which were not all bound at once. This first issue is slightly larger in size bound in a light green cloth with thick laid endpapers showing horizontal chain lines and it has the poems in signature C well-centred. The second and third variants were bound up in dark green cloth a few years later. They are both trimmed slightly smaller leaving the poems in signature C poorly centred. This copy is from the library of Geoffrey Arundel Whitworth CBE 1883-1951 the founder of the British Drama League who began working for the publisher Chatto & Windus in the same year Chamber Music was published. "Whitworth knew many writers established and new; through him the firm attracted works by such authors as G. K. Chesterton Lytton Strachey and Clive Bell". In 1934 George Bernard Shaw described Whitworth as "one of the most important people in the theatre today" ODNB. His ownership inscription is on the front free endpaper. Small octavo. Illustrated title page. Original light green cloth spine and front cover lettered in gilt. Housed in a dark green cloth chemise and gilt-decorated green morocco slipcase by Rene Patron of Hollywood. Cloth notably sharp notwithstanding mild rubbing and darkening of spine spots of soiling to a couple of leaves. A near-fine copy. Slocum & Cahoon A3 first variant.

1935réf. 241728New York: Limited Editions Club 1935. Signed Limited Edition. Publisher's brown cloth decorated in gilt top edge speckled in glassine jacket housed in publisher's plain pale yellow slipcase spine titled in brown. Fine in toned and lightly chipped original glassine jacket in near fine publisher's slipcase. Illustrated by Henri Matisse in six etchings with accompanying preliminary sketches on blue and yellow transparent overlays. i-iii-xv 3 363 3pp. 12" x 9.5" NOT EVERY PICTURE TELLS THE STORY In October 1929 the stock market crashed and the twenty-nine year old George Macy 1900-1956 introduced the first book in his publishing venture The Limited Editions Club. Subscribers paid an affordable monthly price for editions de luxe of literary classics illustrated and signed by notable artists often designed by Macy in a limitation of 1500 copies. At the time the idea was groundbreaking and surprisingly well-received and Macy displayed an unflagging all-American spirit of purpose driven by risk-taking that would keep his publishing passion afloat through the Depression and onward. As its centenary approaches it appears that LECs have also survived the quirks and whims of book collectors thanks to Macy's unbridled instinct for matching artists with texts. Take for example the strangest marriage of them all Henri Matisse meets James Joyce's Ulysses the most valuable blunder in LEC history. An indignant Joyce finding out that Matisse had never read the book dropped out of the project at the eleventh hour signing only 250 copies sparking endless gossip and criticism and making it the most desirable of any of the LECs. Our copy may not have Joyce's imprimatur but it is otherwise complete and in spectacular condition making it a special offering from our Spring acquisitions. Limited to the standard 1500 signed and numbered copies of which this is number 364 signed by Matisse in pencil on the limitation page--preserved here in incredibly scarce original glassine.

1928réf. 172029New York: Crosby Gaige 1928. A choice example of this predecessor to the Wake First edition signed limited issue number 666 of 800 copies signed by the author. Copies are rare in the publisher's glassine and slipcase which are unrecorded by the bibliographers Slocum & Cahoon. This edition which included a further 50 unsigned copies printed on green paper and bound in black cloth precedes the British edition by two years. Anna Livia Plurabelle is an early published chapter from Joyce's famous "Work in Progress" that eventually became Finnegans Wake 1939. T. S. Eliot thought it an excellent chapter to select for early publication writing that "this fantasy of the course of the river Liffey is the best-known part of Finnegans Wake and is the best introduction to it" p. 7. Duodecimo. Original brown cloth spine lettered and decorated in gilt blind rules and dog-tooth roll on covers front cover with gilt triangular centrepiece top edge gilt fore and bottom edges untrimmed. In publisher's glassine and original green card slipcase. Two later postcards with Joyce's portrait one by Man Ray loosely inserted.

1919réf. 029930Zurich: 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.

1935réf. 151736New York: The Limited Editions Club 1935. The Limited Editions Club signed limited edition of Joyce’s landmark Ulysses widely recognized as the first illustrated edition. Large quarto original gilt-stamped pictorial brown cloth with 26 illustrations. One of 1500 numbered copies this is number 1476. Boldly signed by Henri Matisse in pencil on the colophon page at the rear. In near fine condition. Introduction by Stuart Gilbert. Housed in the rare original board slipcase which is in good condition. One of the 20th-century’s most desirable illustrated books combining the work of two great modern artists. A nice example with the rare slipcase. One of the most arresting collaborations in 20th-century literature. "It was a great idea to bring them together; celebrities of the same generation of similar virtuosity" Wheeler 15. The 26 beautiful full-page illustrations by Matisse accompany the text of Joyce's Ulysses including six soft-ground etchings with reproductions of the sketches on blue and yellow paper. "One of the very few American livres de peintres issued before World War II. According to George Macy this work's designer who undertook this only American publication of Matisse's illustrations he asked the artist how many etchings the latter could provide for $5000. The artist chose to take six subjects from Homer's Odyssey. The preparatory drawings reproduced with the soft-ground etchings Matisse's only use of this medium record the evolution of the figures from vigorous sketches to closely knit compositions" Artist and the Book 197.

1930réf. 190805Paris: 1930. Lady Cunard. is sending over a person to hear Sullivan An unpublished letter sent to the future proprietor of the Ulysses Bookshop enlisting him in the promotion of the Irish tenor John O'Sullivan. Joyce first heard the singer perform in October 1929 and was immediately enthralled by his powerful voice. Upon meeting Joyce and O'Sullivan became friends and drinking companions and Joyce worked tirelessly to help O'Sullivan achieve success. In early 1930 Joyce was struggling against a creative slump in his work on Finnegans Wake. Furthering O'Sullivan's career became an alternative pursuit; Joyce was himself an amateur tenor and regarded the singer as "a kind of alter ego" Ellman p. xlv. He attended as many performances as possible always sitting in the front row and responding enthusiastically and encouraged his friends and admirers to do the same. He also attempted to get the tenor noticed by music critics and potential patrons such as Nancy Cunard's mother who he mentions in the present letter: "I have written to Lady Cunard and she is sending over a person to hear Sullivan". Ultimately few others were found who shared Joyce's enthusiasm for the singer but he was immortalized as the character "Jean Souslevin" i.e. "under the wine" in Finnegans Wake. Jacob Schwartz was "one of the first to recognize the market potential for letters and manuscripts of Joyce" Brockman p. 174. He met the writer in London in 1929 and shortly afterwards embarked on a journey to Dublin to purchase Joyce-related documents and memorabilia. The Ulysses Bookshop opened later in 1930. Single sheet of Joyce's printed letterhead 232 x 158 mm typed on one side. Housed in custom orange cloth chemise with acetate internal pocket. Short splits at ends of former folds two with small tape repairs to verso holding fast edges a little chipped and creased lightly toned. In very good condition. Richard Ellman ed.

1924réf. 151436New York: George H. Doran Company 1924. First edition of this work analyzing modern authors and their literary characters through a psychological lens. Octavo original publisher's red cloth illustrated with tipped in plates. Association copy inscribed by the author to fellow writer James Joyce on the front free endpaper "James Joyce with the writers compliments Joseph Collins." The recipient James Joyce was an Irish modernist writer whose novel Ulysses 1922 is widely regarded as one of the most influential works of twentieth-century literature. Set in Dublin over the course of a single day the novel employs innovative narrative techniques—most notably stream of consciousness—to explore the inner lives of its characters while drawing structural parallels to Homer’s Odyssey. Joseph Collins was the first person to review Ulysses for the New York Times after Joyce lent Collins the Little Review installments of Ulysses. Collins groaned to Nutting the next day "I have in my files writing by the insane just as good as this" and gave a medical explanation of the deterioration of the artist's brain. Later on however he began to think better of the book. Joyce even had Molly Bloom memorialize Collins's manner in Ulysses: "Floey made me go to that dry old stick Dr Collins for womens diseases on Pembroke road. I wouldn't trust him too far to give me chloroform or God knows what else still I liked him when he sat down to write." Richard Ellman James Joyce page 516. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. An exceptional association. Dr. Joseph Collins 1866–1950 was an American neurologist author literary critic and medical educator known for his contributions to the study of nervous and mental disorders in the early twentieth century. A graduate of New York University Collins served as a professor of neurology and was actively involved in clinical practice and medical writing producing works that addressed both specialized neurological topics and broader issues of health and psychology. In addition to his scientific publications he wrote essays and books aimed at general audiences often exploring the relationship between mind and body as well as the social implications of medical knowledge.
