Published following the legal success of the 1934 Random House Ulysses trial, which established the principle that a "classic" work was allowed greater flexibility when it came to conventional morality, coupled with the luxuriousness and expense of this edition ensured that it was published to no public scandal in the UK.
An excellent copy of the most deluxe edition of Ulysses published during Joyce's lifetime, and signed by the author.
