Pom Harrington inspects our superior copy of Ulysses.
This book is a first edition, primary issue, one of 100 copies on Dutch handmade paper; this copy numbered 45 and signed by Joyce on the limitation page.
The first printing of Ulysses consisted of 1,000 copies, divided into three issues. The first 100 were designated the primary issue: printed on fine Dutch handmade paper, numbered 1–100 and signed by Joyce, these copies bulk thickest of the three issues and were the most expensive, at 350 francs ($30).
Of the remainder, 150 unsigned copies were done on larger but inferior paper, and the remaining 750 on linen paper, noticeably thinner and slightly smaller than the Dutch paper issue.
