1927Best.-Nr. 140946444London: Shakespeare and Company 1927. First Edition. Good. First trade edition first printing. A fantastic association copy signed by legendary publisher Sylvia Beach with a contemporary inscription dated Paris August 18 1928 opposite rear paste-down. Bound in publisher's pale green boards faded to tan with errata slip tipped in at rear. Good with cracking at spine leaving binding very fragile cup ring to upper cover. Joyce's second book of poetry a slim volume containing 13 poems. Sylvia Beach was an American ex-pat known for her iconic Paris bookshop Shakespeare and Company where she published James Joyce's Ulysses 1922 and encouraged the publication of and sold copies of Hemingway's first book Three Stories and Ten Poems 1923. While autographed copies of her book Shakespeare and Company published in 1960 are often available on the market Joyce titles with Beach's contemporaneous inscriptions from the heyday of the Lost Generation era are extremely uncommon and desirable. A fragile yet very important copy. Shakespeare and Company unknown
