Description

First Edition, English Issuance, First Authorized English edition, one of 900 copies only, printed on special Japon vellum papers, probably the most beautiful First Edition of ULYSSES ever printed. Tall, thick, royal 8vo, publisher?s original full green polished linen buckram with the gilt lettering and pictorial decoration of the gilt bow designed by Eric Gill on the upper cover and spine, housed in the rare printed dustjacket lettered in black on the upper cover and on the spine and decorated with the bow in red on the spine panel. [xvi], 766 pp. A well preserved copy, the covers of the green cloth in bright and beautiful condition without any of the fading typical to the book, the back just a bit mellowed at the tips, the dustjacket with the price still intact and showing some light aging and some evidence of use or handling, but whole and without major defects or substantial wear, some tidying up to the verso. A pleasing survival with all aspects of a collector?s demands in good order.
