Slim folio original printed paper wraps uncut and unopened original glassine original gilt chemise and green cardboard slipcase. Housed in a custom chemise and clamshell box. $17500.First edition number 50 of only 100 signed copies on ÒImperial Hand-Made Iridescent JapanÓ paper out of a total edition of 685 copies. A stunning copy.This is one of several fragments from Work in Progress published in 1939 as Finnegans Wake that Joyce issued to raise money while working on the mammoth project. One of the publishers Jack Kahane who idolized Joyce had originally asked Sylvia Beach to allow him to take over publication of Ulysses. Instead she introduced Kahane to Joyce who then agreed to let him publish Haveth Childers Everywhere. The effort nearly ruined Kahane and only by selling the American rights to the work were he and co-publisher Henry Babou able to save themselves from bankruptcy. When Faber and Faber was preparing the first London editions of Anna Livia Plurabelle and Haveth Childers Everywhere 1930 and 1931 respectively ""Joyce wrote rhymes for the 'blurb' on the dust jacket. The Haveth Childers verse is quoted in this description headlineÉ He was a little annoyed when the publicity departmentÉ used them only on a mimeographed publicity release to which they prefixed a note: 'The Sales department puzzled as such departments are wont to be have sought some light on the two James Joyce contributions to Criterion Miscellany. Below the explanations offered are passed on that you may be able to derive similar enlightenment"" Ellmann 617n. Slocum and Cahoon A41.

Title printed in green and black initials and headlines printed in green. Inside front cover of folder with bookplate of John Kobler see below. Slocum & Cahoon A-41. Corners just slightly bumped one small faint brown spot to tissue cover but AN OUTSTANDING COPY the very fragile and always-torn glassine entirely intact and the text with no signs of use most of it never having seen the light of day. This luxury version of an excerpt from "Finnegans Wake" is printed on especially pleasing handmade paper that glows like a pearl. In his book review for the New York Times 11 January 1931 Herbert Matthews says this fragment is "an attempt to enrich and refashion the English language and as such is highly stimulating and carries the reader through a form of mental gymnastics which is not without its profit and amusement." However he admits "after an honest and patient effort backed by a previous reading of all of Mr. Joyce's work 'Haveth Childers Everywhere' still remained absolutely incomprehensible" and he expresses concern that "Mr. Joyce has gone a little further on the path he is hewing for himself toward what seems to be complete linguistic chaos." Perhap our previous owner found it equally rough going for this copy has obviously never been read. That owner could well have been the prolific biographer John Kobler 1910-2000 who wrote biographies of among others Al Capone John Hunter and John Barrymore and who contributed regularly to the New Yorker Collier's and the Saturday Evening Post.
