Joyce, James. Viking Press, 1939. First American edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good. (Corrections pamphlet. Very good. Viking Press, 1945.)
While the jacket is slightly soiled, with some chipping and minor foxing to the inside flaps, it is not price clipped, with the "First Regular Edition, $5.00" in the upper right corner of the inside flap. There is also minor fading to the spine, especially the delicate red middle panel. The book itself is tight and square with some dustiness to the stop of the pages. The 16-page misprint pamphlet shows very minor wear and is emblazoned, fittingly, with the stamp of the late, lamented Gotham Book Mart in New York (home to both the James Joyce and Finnegan's Wake Societies). A scarce and desirable item.
