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!.

First Edition
8vo. First UK edition using sheets printed in France in May 1929. Original turquoise cloth lettered in gilt on the spine. Cloth a little darkened to the spine and top edges. Neat ink ownership, dated 1940, on the fly. Unclipped jacket, showing the price as '6s. net', a bit tanned on the spine with tiny nicks to the spine ends. Near fine in near fine d/w. A collection of essays about 'Work In Progress', which would be published as Finnegans Wake ten years later. The two 'Letters of Protest' are by Joyce. Beckett's contribution, 'Dante. Bruno. Vico. 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.

Seller: Paul Foster. - ABA & PBFA Member., London, United Kingdom
Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. FIRST TRADE EDITION. 8vo. (7 x 5.6 inches). Page edges tanned, as usual, a small stain to the fore edge of the first handful of pages and a few minor chips to the edges of a few leaves, otherwise a very good example in the original cream coloured paper wraps, printed in black to spine and both covers. Some loss to the top of the spine, but not affecting the lettering, and a small closed tear and some minor chipping to the extremities. Paper a bit toned and rubbed but overall a presentable copy. There was also a limited edition of 96 numbered copies on thicker verge d'Arches paper issued simultaneously with this issue. ----- This early critique of Joyce's final work was published some 10 years prior to the publication of the finished novel. Part of the incentive to publish was apparently to raise funds for the perennially impecunious Joyce. A myth surrounding this work is that one or both of the two letters of protest were written by Joyce himself. However both authors existed, indeed Beach herself commissioned Slingsby. Dixon's effort, which is marvellous, was an unsolicited one by a Russian émigré who was to die in Paris in 1929, just as the book was published. -- Slocum and Cahoon. B.10.
