Plain carboard covers with linen-taped spine and lettering Joyce Ulysses. Lacking the famous blue papcovers for the wrappers.

The fourth and fifth were printed on thick paper of inferior quality and had Price: Sixty Francs printed on the back cover. In the fourth, fifth and sixth printings the text was corrected for the errata which had been issued with the second and third printings, but more typographical errors which had been discovered were listed as Ulysses | Additional corrections and included in the regular pagination, pp. [733]-736. The seventh printing, issued in blue covers with title and author in white, also contained these From this information it would appear that the presence of the "Additional corrections" would indicate a later printing, it could be 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th.corrections.

Regarded today as a cornerstone of 20th century literature - it has been chosen as the most important novel in the English language - listed in Modern Library's Top 100 Novels [1998],3 copies unaccounted for.Famous last chapter,Molly Bloom’s long unbroken soliloquy ending in an orgasmic ‘yes’.The book also proved to be a major test case for laws of freedom of expression.Forced underground by censors, "this was a cryptoclassic already before it was read,a subversive colossus", (Norman Sherry,James Joyce,Ulysses,2nd edition).Or as Joyce's long-suffering wife Nora succinctly put it,"I guess the man's a genius,but what a dirty mind he has, hasn't he?" An intricate allegory of the Odyssey (with the hero being Latinised to Ulysses).Ulysses is divided into 18 parts, or 'episodes' as the Joyce scholars call them,each written in a different style and with a different Odyssean name,though the names themselves are never given in the text.The names are: Telemachus, Nestor, Proteus, Claypso, Lotus Eaters, Hades, Aeolus, Lestrygonians, Scylla and Charybdis, Wandering Rocks, Sirens, Cyclops, Nausicaa, Oxen of the Sun, Circe, Eumaeus, Ithaca, and Penelope. Each episode is assigned,tacitly,a colour theme,a dominant organ of the body,an hour,a setting and other characteristics, though many of these remain a matter of scholarly dispute.The action takes place in Dublin on a single June day (June 14, 1904) and its three main characters are Leopold Bloom,Stephen Dedalus and Molly Bloom,who represent Ulysses,Telemachus and Penelope.Other characters and places also have their Homeric counterparts.
