First edition hardcover. Indigo cloth with stamped lettering on the front and gilt on the spine. Fine; a pristine copy. Dustjacket is near fine, minor chipping to spine head and sunning of spine. The book was hailed by Anthony Burgess as “the greatest literary biography of the twentieth century”. An extraordinary achievement, weaving together Joyce's life and his complex works.
