Contemporary owner name in blue pencil on front fly faint soil mark on front board the lettering on the spine is still bright thus near fine in a fine example of the publisher's unprinted glassine dust jacket. The very scarce first issue of James Joyce's first trade book preceded by two broadsides. This is the first binding variant according to Smoot and Cahoon A3: "First variant: Thick laid end papers with horizontal chain lines. 16.2 x 11 cm. Poems in signature C well centered on page." Published in a total edition of 509 copies. According to booksellers Bernard Quaritch Bulletin 19 1984 only "fifty or a hundred" copies of the first variant were bound and issued in 1907. Contemporary presentation copies appear in the first binding and it certainly seems plausible that due to low demand only a small number of copies were bound in 1907. Elkin Mathews hardcover books
1917ref. 463618New York: B.W. Huebsch 1917. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good.

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.
