First edition; English issue, made up of American sheets.. rebound in modern morocco, t.e.g., illustrated after a photograph of Joyce on the front panel, and a cross on the rear panel. Preserved in a custom 1/4 morocco folding box.. Joyce made an earlier attempt to inscribe this copy to someone else; the eradication of the earlier inscription can be seen if the page is held to the light. The binder has trimmed the top edge of the sheets in order to gild the top edge, and the last letter of "Wadsworth" is very slightly affected. Otherwise a fine copy. . 8vo,. Slocum and Cahoon A12. Signed and inscribed by James Joyce for Percy Wadsworth, Paris, 30 July 1921, at the upper corner of the blank leaf preceding the half-title.
