A truly superb copy of the limited issue Bodley Head Ulysses, arguably the most handsome edition of Joyce's masterpiece ever published. The text was based on the Odyssey Press edition (1932), revised by Stuart Gilbert at the request of Joyce, and generally considered to be the most accurate and authoritative text of the novel.
