Copy No. 1 - Signed by Joyce Joyce (James). Ulysses. John Lane, L. 1936, First UK Edition printed in UK, No.1 of 100 copies bound in full calf vellum and signed by the author, from a total edition of 1000, quarto vellum gilt with Homeric bow (by Eric Gill) on upper and lower covers, t.e.g., other edges untrimmed. Very slight foxing/marking to signature page, a few marks to spine. In the original slipcase designed by Eric Gill with orig. numbered label, the slipcase a little worn at corners and edges but firm and strong. Some damage affecting top half-inch of spine vellum above the title. There is no loss of lettering, affecting its appearance. In our judgement the damage is professionally repairable, and the estimate. We have not previously seen an intact copy of the Eric Gill slipcase, which is strongly made but vulnerable owing to the weight of the volume. One can imagine Joyce’s feelings of pride and joy as he signed this, the very first copy of his great work printed in England. [Slocum & Cahoon 23.]

"Know Your Town" Athlone, Co. Westmeath: Burgess (Dr. J.B.) The Burgess Papers of Athlone.This collection comprises 25 bound volumes in typescript, the entries dating from c. 1571-1881, and has been assembled from Deeds, Directories, Almanacs, Fiants, Published Sources, Manuscripts, Newspaper, Parish Records, Tombstone & Monumental inscriptions etc. A collection of the first importance for Athlone & surrounding area. One of the most helpful aspects of the collection is the liberal use of indexes. Practically every volume has its index often broken down under separate headings, eg. persons; places; births; marriages and deaths; borough voters; streets; subjects; etc. The 25 volumes were all typed by Dr. Burgess between 1939 and 1956, having commenced collecting the information in 1930. On leaving Athlone in 1951 Dr. Burgess entrusted the entire collection to his friend, Mr. J.O. Simmons, with the proviso, 'that this collection is for the town of Athlone, and when there is a place suitable for its storage and use, it is to be deposited there permanently for the people of Athlone,' This unique collection of basic source material was compiled by a dedicated Athlone man for the people of Athlone, and this faithful photocopy of the entire collection for sale here affords some further institution or collector, the chance to acquire one of very few sets of this importance. * For further study, see Source Journal of Old Athlone Society, article by N.W. English in Vol. I No. 4, 1974-75.

Orig. green cloth stamped in blind, spine cloth separating at lower hinge, but the hinge holding firmly. A little spotting to upper edge. S. & C. 12.

We have not seen this leaflet before. Its authorship is not stated, but it is certainly possible that it was drafted or approved by Joyce and his associates. The publisher (Harriet Weaver) subscribed to a clipping service for Joyce (see S. & C. p. vii), which may explain the great range of reviews. These clippings are now in the Yale University Library.
