First Burgess edition first impression casebound issue; 8vo 22.5 x 14.5 cm; publisher's green cloth gilt spine original typographic dust-jacket price-clipped very minor wear to cloth extremities edges of jacket slightly frayed peeling with areas of loss; 278pp. Joyce's masterpiece revised by the satirist and literary critic Anthony Burgess 1917-1993. Published simultaneously in paperback this hard back issue was done principally for libraries. As a consequence copies like this are very uncommon. 'Anthony Burgess has cut down Joyce's masterpiece to its bare essentials and has provided a sort of waking commentary as well as a long and enlightening introduction. He hopes that readers of this small labour of love will be tempted to proceed to the whole big uncut book and learn to revel in its humour and homely profundity. It is one of the great works of the age as well as one of the funniest. We ignore it at or peril' blurb. London, Faber & Faber Limited, [1966]. paperback
