1932réf. 8451Hamburg: The Odyssey Press 1932. FIRST HARDCOVER EDITION 8vo pp. 791 3. Original pale grey cloth boards bordered with a double blind rule front board lettered in red. Spine a little darkened cloth of joints splitting but binding tight. Marginal pencil notes throughout. Hamburg’s Odyssey Press issued Ulysses in several versions in December 1932 with a significant text revised by Stuart Gilbert at Joyce’s own request: Slocum and Cahoon give apparent priority to the relatively common two-volume paperback edition of the same month though it seems likely that it was issued simultaneously with this much scarcer india-paper single-volume edition and both slightly before the special two-volume signed issue. Since the Shakespeare and Company printings the early American piracy and the two-volume Odyssey Press edition were all in wrappers this is therefore the first publication of the text in hardcover form preceding the authorised American edition by more than a year.

réf. 52305Berlin: Internationaler Verlag 1940. FIRST EDITION. Octavo 21 x 15cm pp.232. Extra-illustrated with contemporary news clippings concerning the conviction and execution of the author. All text in German. Publisher blue card wraps with black titles to spine and upper. Quite heavily browned as expected. Light rubbing to extremities with some heavier rubbing and a few tears to spine; mottling and marking to wraps. Very good. Issued simultaneously with a cloth hardcover edition this is a very rare book with only three copies listed on Copac. It is the main work of 'Lord Haw Haw' who was one of just three people convicted of treason in a British Court since the Second World War and one of just two executed for a crime other than murder since then. Joyce was hugely influential in Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists between 1934 and 1937 when he was sacked following poor results at the election of that year. In August 1939 he managed to flee to Nazi Germany where he eventually became the chief broadcaster of propaganda to Allied forces in which role he gained his nick-name and published this book which was distributed to prisoners of war.

1944réf. 0001144HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA. Good. 1944.

1977réf. 22937ENew 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 1977”. 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
1927réf. 2020144Paris: Shakespeare And Company 1927. Ninth Printing. Hardcover. fine. Octavo 738 pages later half green morocco green cloth pastel endpapers; bound by N. Papapetrum Chicago IL; ex libris Ary John Arlon M.D. "Bloom is a universal comic character like Falstaff Daedalus is guilty adolescence - Connolly THE MODERN MOVEMENT 42." The book was sold to subscribers including Winston Churchill. "The most famous rejection came from George Bernard Shaw who claimed ULYSSES was 'a revolting record of a disgusting phase of civilization' and that no Irishman would ever pay 150 francs for this book or any other." Joyce continuously revised the book throughout the typesetting of the first printing. As a result of his revisions and French printers setting a book in English many mistakes crept into the text for which corrections were attempted again and again in subsequent printings. In fact arguably the author's finished text has yet to be published despite the so-called Definitive Edition published in 1996."ULYSSES was printed for Shakespeare and Company eleven times - Slocum & Cahoon 17." The U. S. " government based its case against the novel on the dual grounds of Joyce's use of Anglo-Saxon four-letter words and the erotic passages in Mollie Bloom's monologue. No one who has read ULYSSES could deny that Joyce reproduced the coarse language of Dublin's streets with a fidelity never before rendered in literature." - Alfred Haworth Jones.
