Signed on the half title by James Joyce in black ink and illustrated with Constantin Brancusi's etching Symbole de Joyce intended by the artist to capture Joyce's "sens du pousser" and described as "a portrait as abstract as the author's text". With a preface by C.K.Ogden who in the same year as the publication of Shem and Shaun arranged a recording of Joyce reading from Anna Livia Plurabelle the first published section of Work in Progress. In an interview of 1936 Joyce said "I haven't lived a normal life since 1922 when I began Work in Progress. It requires an enormous amount of concentration.Since 1922 my book has become more real to me than reality and everything has led to it". "My book" is Finnegans Wake to which during its seventeen year gestation Joyce gave the name Work in Progress. In the late 1920s Joyce published three sections of Work in Progress: Tales Told of Shem and Shaun is the second. Reviews concentrated on the Joyce's verbal brilliance while noting its limited appeal. To H.G.Wells Work in Progress was "an extraordinary experiment" but also "a dead end". Joyce was undeterred. In 1937 two years before the publication of Finnegans Wake Joyce said of "the few fragments which I have published" that they "have been enough to convince many critics that I have finally lost my mind.And perhaps it is madness to grind up words in order to extract their substance or to graft them one onto another to create crossbreeds and unknown variants to open up unsuspected possibilities for these words to marry sounds which were not usually joined together before although they were meant for one another to allow water to speak like water birds to chirp in the words of birds to liberate all sounds of rustling breaking arguing shouting cracking whistling creaking gurgling - from their servile contemptible role and to attach them to the feelers of expressions which grope for definitions of the undefined".

Harry and Caresse Crosby's Black Sun Press was an exemplary Parisian fine press publishing house which brought together a community of diverse artists to produce deluxe editions capturing the modernist scene in the late twenties and thirties. Originally founded as Éditions Narcisse and a vehicle to print their own works by mid-1928 The Black Sun Press had become a vital channel between artists and writers and a select group of readers and collectors who appreciated finely bound hand-set books. Working in Rue Cardinale with Master Printer Roger Lescaret the press issued limited editions of the first unexpurgated editions of D.H. Lawrence's 'Sun' and 'The Escaped Cock' Kay Boyle's 'Short Stories' Archibald MacLeish's 'Einstein' Eugene Jolas's 'Secession in Astropolis' a volume of 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' and Hart Crane's 'The Bridge' among other works. After Harry Crosby's death in 1929 Caresse continued the work of Black Sun Press issuing editions of Joyce's 'Collected Poems' 1936 and works by Proust Faulkner Hemingway Crevel Eluard and Ernst Bukowski and Olson.
