1925151568New York: Greenberg Publisher Inc 1925. First limited edition of this classic work inspired by King John. Octavo original half-cloth. One of 500 numbered copies this is number 8. Association copy inscribed by the author to fellow writer James Joyce on the limitations page "To James Joyce in admiration Joseph Shipley." The recipient James Joyce was an Irish modernist writer whose novel Ulysses 1922 is widely regarded as one of the most influential works of twentieth-century literature. In very good condition. Joseph T. Shipley 1893–1988 was an American author literary critic and lexicographer whose career spanned several decades of influential work in both theater criticism and the study of language. He served as drama critic for The Call later The New Leader from 1918 to 1962 and extended his critical reach through radio broadcasts on New York station WEVD where his program First Nights ran from 1940 to 1982. Shipley was an early and perceptive commentator on modern drama publishing one of the first critical studies of Eugene O’Neill in 1928 and he later held leadership roles in the New York Drama Critics’ Circle including serving as president from 1952 to 1954. Although widely respected as a theater critic he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to etymology and literary reference particularly his Dictionary of World Literary Terms 1943 and his final work The Origins of English Words 1984. Over the course of his career he authored or edited 27 books and received honors such as the Townsend Harris Medal. Greenberg, Publisher, Inc hardcover
19163926New York: B. W. Huebsch 1916. First edition. Very Good . A Very Good copy with minor shelfwear to extremities. Spine toned. Rear inner hinge tender but holding. Previous owner's bookplate to the front free endpaper. <br/><br/>Joyce's first novel recounts the coming of age story of Stephen Dedalus the artistic alter-ego of Joyce himself. Stephen grows up ensconced in rigid institutions: the church school system family and national politics. Feeling trapped Stephen experiences a series of awakenings as he grows older and as a result of these awakenings Stephen rejects these traditional bulwarks of Irish culture. Instead he develops an aestheticism that will support his artistic vision. This rejection of existing communities and institutions alongside his embrace of a new aestheticism alienates Stephen from what he knows. Facing this alienation Stephen decides to leave Ireland and pursue his art abroad. <br/><br/>A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is an important contribution to literary modernism. One aspect of this innovativeness is Joyce's use of age-appropriate syntax and vocabulary. The beginning of the novel which starts in Stephen's infancy is mostly monosyllabic nonsense. As Stephen grows older and grasps more about the world and his place in it the novel's vocabulary and syntax become correspondingly complex. Of Joyce's first novel H.G. Wells writes that "It is a mosaic of jagged fragments that does altogether render with extreme completeness the growth of a rather secretive imaginative boy in Dublin. The technique is startling but on the whole it succeeds." Very Good . B. W. Huebsch unknown books

1916JJ046New York: Huebsch 1916 First edition first printing. Publisher's blue cloth blind-stamped front cover and gilt spine. A very good copy with a slight lean to spine and wear to spine ends some light spotting to cloth and rubbing to board edge a slight mark to fore edge of pages 45-48 binding slightly cracked between pages 28 and 29 otherwise sturdy. Internally free of any writing or bookplates. Lacking the scarce original dust jacket. Overall a solid copy of the author's first novel. Slocum & Cahoon A11. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is Joyce's second book and first novel. With the assistance of Ezra Pound the semi-autobiographical text was first published serially in twenty-one monthly installments in the British literary magazine The Egoist from February 1914-September 1915. Readers' critical reactions and fear of obscenity laws led many British publishers to initially reject publication and it was first published in book form in America in 1916. The book which is a virtual rewrite of his abandoned novel Stephen Hero tells the story of the young artist Stephen Daedalus Joyce's fictionalized alter ego. The name alludes to both the Christian martyr Saint Stephen and the Greek mythological inventor Daedalus. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a Künstlerroman a subset of the bildungsroman genre. The novel is written in Joyce's characteristic style of free indirect speech; Joyce's writing style matures along with Daedalus' own consciousness so that the sophistication of the narrator's voice mirrors the protagonist's level of awareness.

2172Seattle Washington: American Drive Guides. CaliforniaOregonWashingtonMaps Archive of Original Publisher Photographs and Artwork and Finished Pamphlets for "American Drive Guides" and "Here's How You Go" Travel Brochures and Maps 1949-1973 with 302 Unique Pamphlets plus Hundreds of Photos and Art Proofs<br /> <br /> The pamphlet collection is in very good to fine condition with only a couple exceptions. These are from publisher files which likely are untouched since publication. <br /> <br /> The artwork and photos are working copies with layout notes font sizes trim lines crop marks and touch-up marks throughout. Collection includes original artwork original photographs stock photos plus trimmed linen chrome and photo postcards. Many are annotated as to location and business name. Sizes vary from 8 x 10-inch photos to 2 x 3-inch snapshots. Includes a number of photo postcards. Good to very good condition.<br /> <br /> 'American Drive Guides' and 'Here's How to Go Maps' were created by Joyce and Elno Hasselstrom of Seattle Washington. Their idea was quite brilliant. Design 3 different six-panel folding vertical brochures with highway maps featuring Highways 99 and 101 plus Interstate 5. The Interstate 5 map was green; Highway 99 was orange and the 101 was red. Each map ran from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. Other than the front cover every brochure was the same. Year to year businesses would drop out or join the list of advertisers. Updating the brochure would be a relatively simple task. <br /> <br /> The covers would feature motels or restaurants along the three routes with short interior blurbs for all the businesses buying advertising space. Each front-page business would provide an image usually a photograph but sometimes artwork or line drawings for the cover plus text describing the amenities of the hotel or restaurant. These pamphlets would be distributed at the respective businesses.<br /> <br /> The maps were designed by the Northwest Mapping Service of Seattle.<br /> <br /> Joyce Hasselstrom was the layout and design expert while her husband Elno covered sales and promotion. <br /> <br /> This archive contains 302 unique pamphlets plus three shoeboxes filled with photos and artwork used for the pamphlets. <br /> <br /> While some may think the star of the archive are the 302 near pristine pamphlets this cataloger is partial to the boxes of photos and artwork. It is safe to say the vast majority of the mom-and-pop motels and restaurants featured in this collection no longer exist and this photo collection preserves the images of a by-gone era before homogenized chain motels and restaurants. A true trip down memory lane.<br /> <br /> A tremendous collection for collectors of travel brochures photo collectors or students of post WW2 travel in the pacific west.<br /> <br /> Shipping will have a surcharge due to weight.

Within a month of the publication this first printing was practically sold out; eight months after the initial printing October 1922 a second printing the first English edition appeared.</p><p>This edition is actually rarer than the limitation statement would suggest. In a letter from Harriet Shaw Weaver dated February 25 1947 the following account is recorded: "A good number of copies sent by ordinary book post to the U.S.A. got through to their various destinations but some time between October 1922 when the Egoist edition was published and December the U.S.A. censorship authorities evidently became suspicious; copies were held up and accumulated at the U.S.A. post offices until finally 400-500 copies were confiscated and burnt."

19396104London: Faber and Faber 1939. First trade edition. Near Fine/Very Good . A Near Fine copy of the book in Very Good dust jacket. Contemporary owner's name and bookplate on the front endpapers some foxing to the closed text-block and to the early and late leaves. Price-clipped dust jacket with the yellow titling faded minor chips and tears mostly a the extremities and some smudges to the jacket panels. <br /> <br /> Among the most influential and complex Modernist works Finnegans Wake "blends the reality of life with a dream world. The motive of the novel inspired by the 18th century Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico is that history is cyclical.the novel's plot is nearly as complex as the linguistic tactics deployed by Joyce who combined a number of languages and utilized complex sonic implications to create an atmosphere of wordplay and hidden meaning throughout the entirety of Finnegans Wake" Britannica. A natural progression from his earlier masterpiece Ulysses Finnegans Wake shows Joyce pressing his ability to weave together numerous languages cultural mythologies and national literatures to defy boundaries and binaries we so often lean on to understand the world.

Each volume is in near fine to fine condition. A unique set illustrating the evolution of this great literary work. James Joyce's Ulysses was first published by Shakespeare and Company Paris in February 1922. Between 1922 and 1925 the text was reprinted six times. In May 1926 Shakespeare and Company issued a second edition mistakenly called the eighth printing in which the type of the text was entirely reset and Joyce's corrections from the previous printings were absorbed. Since its publication the book has attracted controversy and scrutiny ranging from an obscenity trial in the United States in 1921 to protracted textual "Joyce Wars". The novel's stream of consciousness technique careful structuring and experimental prose—replete with puns parodies and allusions—as well as its rich characterization and broad humor have led it to be regarded as one of the greatest literary works in history.
