Odyssey Press first printing (per statement "First issued by The Odyssey Press: December 1932 on Volume One copyright page; Volume Two without any statement) - "definitive standard edition . . . specially revised, at the author's request, by Stuart Gilbert" (also as stated on Volume One copyright page). ULYSSES was banned in the United States from a New York legal case in 1920-21 and in the U.K. in 1922 and thus the rear covers of both volumes share same three lines of printed text at their bottom margins: "'In Two Volumes | R.M. 5.60 ~ FRS 36.00 ~ LIRE 28.00 | Not to be introduced into the British Empire or the U.S.A." *** Lacks the fragile slipcase with which the set was issued and both volumes lack (as is often the case) their fragile glassine djs. Paperbacks: H 18cm x L 11cm. Volume i's front and rear covers detached bit Volume II's are intact. Toned paper covers usually described as gray but these lean more towards tan or beige with reddish-brown lettering; some soiling and stains to covers with scuffed/nicks edges and creased corners; spine paper chipped at heads (top 2.5cms) so that title/author lettering is mostly lost but volume #s are extant as are publisher imprints at heels. Soiling/toning to text blocks' top edges and fore-edges; lesser toning to bottom edges. Interior leaves have slight foxing with a few scattered stains and soiling as well as a few creased corners and edge-nicks. Bindings remain reasonably firm. Sold as is for the set would benefit from professional repair to covers/spines. VOLUME I paged as 1-400, [2]. VOLUME II paged as [4], 401-792, [2]. A relatively early edition of Joyce's classic modernist novel which was first published in book form in Paris in February 1922 by Sylvia Beach albeit preceded by partial serialization in the Chicago literary journal "The Little Review" between March 1918 and December 1920 from which the New York banning case arose and, in turn, its related publicity was a component in British government reaction as well.
