by James Joyce - Beckett, Samuel, Williams, William Carlos, Jolas, Eugene, McAlmon, Robert et al.
Paris: Shakespeare and Company / Sylvia Beach, 1928. First edition. Paperback. Good. Printed wrappers. Small paperbound octavo. 195 pp. With "Made In Great Britain" rubberstamped on the title page. Includes extracts from Joyce's Finnegan's Wake. Contributions by Samuel Beckett, his first book appearance as well as Robert Sage, William Carlos Williams, Stuart Gilbert and others. A fragile book printed on this paper, this copy suffers from notable chipping along the right hand-side of the front cover, paper loss at top inch or so of spine and smaller chips to first blank endpaper and rear cover. Good overall condition of an uncommon Joyce and Beckett title. Book needs to be handled with care.
