1935ref. 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.

1922ref. 846021922. JOYCE James. Ulysses. Orig. blue wrappers in custom folding box. Paris: Published for the Egoist Press London by John Rodker 1922. One of 1000 copies this being no. 929. Nice copy of the edition known as the 1st English edition but technically second printing published under the aegis of the Egoist Press from the plates of the first edition printed in Paris by Shakespeare & Company in February 1922. This edition was published om October 1922. Misleadingly referred to as the "first English" or "first U.K. edition" because it was intended to be sold in England rather than Paris; however the first edition to be physically printed in England wasn't until that of the Bodley Head in 1936. Paper wrappers slightly worn and chipped split at hinges small stain to lower left corner of back wrapper; internally clean. Very good with the highly desirable 7pp. errata laid in. unknown

1927ref. 52187Basel: Rhein-Verlags 1927. Hardcover. Translation by Georg Goyert. Complete 3-volume set. 8vo. Quarter calf with raised bands and gilt spine lettering and marbled paper over boards. 458pp 465pp 662pp. Top edges gilt; sewn-in brown cloth page markers. Near fine. Tight and bright with just faint sunning to the spines. Handsome set of the first foreign language edition of Joyce's magnum to appear: the first German-language edition. Goyert 1888-1966 won the contest held by Joyce's German publisher and even met with Joyce several times about the translation but Joyce was critical of the finished product as were many others. The Hans Wollschläger translation of the 1970s has become the favored German text more nuanced and accurate. But Goyert pioneered the challenging task as the first. "Privatdruck" Private Printing appears on each title page apparently to forestall censorship attempts and the limitation statement Volume I notes the limitation to 1000 numbered copies this #839 on laid paper. Half of the print run was issued in this half-leather form the other half in green wrappers. A superb example. Rhein-Verlags hardcover

"Joyce not to mince words is Ireland's Shakespeare its Goethe its Racine its Tolstoy" John Sutherland. The book also proved to be a major test case for laws of freedom of expression.
