Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. I am not sure what to make of this little book. There is little information to identify the date or edition of this publication. Some other sellers have stated that the fact the words "Printed in France" indicate that it is the 2nd edition from 1936. OThers have mentioned the Shakespeare edition from 1929 and the notation on the back overleaf of its printing in Chartres Frances on 5-1929 (stated) as indicating a first edition. I simply don't know so will let the description and pictures speak for themselves. The one thing I am sure of is it a very scarce little work! Book is very good in blue cloth boards with golden lettering on the spine. The front board has a couple of brown stains that look a bit like chocolate on it. There is very light rubbing at the bottom of the spine. Other than that and some toning of the outside of the rough cut pages, a great copy, worthy of any collection!.

Joyce' is the author's first appearance in print. His first novel, only published in 1992 after his death but probably written c. 1932, was called 'Dream of Fair to Middling Women'. That title is adapted from Tennyson's poem but was used unaltered by Henry Williamson for one of his novels, published by Faber and included as No. 14 in the list of 'The Faber Library' on the back panel of the jacket of this book. The former owner was David Daiches CBE (1912-2005), the Scottish literary historian and critic.
