JAMES JOYCE Two Worlds 1926 V1N3 VNTG Modernism William Hazlitt Arthur Symons

  

March 1926 Volume 1, Number 3. Measures approx 8.5"T x 6"W. I have a very large collection of books spanning many topics.

A massive gathering of Philip K Dick titles and editions, as well as fine press, signed limited editions, modern firsts, radical movement and conceptual art items. I encourage you to browse my store and categories for a wide range of unique, quality offerings. NOTE : When flipping thru for first time, I found a laid in errata (SEE IMAGE). I went ahead and checked myself, and it appears maybe it was from another issue, slipped into this one... OR the errata itself needed a correction as well, as I was not able to find the referenced error on the noted page and line. Previous owner name neatly penned on the first page. This is in solid GOOD condition.

Although still firm and attached, I would treat this book with care and NOT fully extend the book. Opening, flipping pages, reading is great... Just don't FULLY open flat the book. These types of bindings, from 100 years ago, weren't bullet proof. Covers and edges are rubbed.

This is nearly 100 years old, and in still in rather nice condition considering the noted flaws. Preserved in an acid-free archival bag. About : This issue carries a redrafted fragment, in a series of fragments, from Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. Being written over the span of 17 years, Finnegans Wake was not published complete until 1939. This was the 1st appearance of the book in the United States. 450 copies went to subscribers. This copy is NOT numbered, and I think it's possible this is part of the 50 copies held maybe as publisher/contributor copies. The editor/publisher Samuel Roth was a known booklegger, opposed to censorship and in some cases would publish work without permission, including works considered obscene and sexually explicit. A re-drafted segment of Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. Writing by Jacques le Clercq. Paul Verlaine work translated by Arthur Symons. I will happily answer any further questions. To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers. Best not to waste our time.

With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer. If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings. I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases. I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success.

I've packed books securely for 3 decades and will take great care with your order. This is not something in my control, nor do I handle that in any way. Thank you for considering this offering!
