FIRST EDITION, WITH JAMES JOYCE INSCRIPTION
Ulysses "Ulysses is the most important contribution that has been made to fictional literature in the twentieth century. It will immortalize its author with the same certainty that Gargantua and Pantagruel immortalized Rabelais, and The Brothers Karamazof's Dostoyevsky. It is likely that there is no one writing English today that could parallel Joyce's feat..." -Joseph Collins, The New York Time, 1922 FIRST EDITION, number 611 of 750 copies on handmade paper, of the most celebrated novel of the 20th-century.
