Vintage 1934 First American Edition Hardcover: “Ulysses” by James Joyce

As shown. See all photos. Belonged to my late mother. Some cover scuffs but otherwise structurally intact and in decent condition for a 90+ year-old book. I’m sure it belonged to her parents before her. Shows it came from a Chicago bookstore, which tracks. There is a romantic inscription (to “Louise,” whose name I don’t recognize) and also an accompanying pamphlet, “How to enjoy James Joyce’s ULYSSES.”

“Ulysses is a modernist novel by the Irish writer James Joyce. Partially serialized in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, the entire work was published in Paris by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922, Joyce's fortieth birthday. It is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement".”

“The novel chronicles the experiences of 3 Dubliners over the course of a single day, 16 June 1904, which fans of the novel now celebrate as Bloomsday.“
