A Bibliography of James Joyce 1882-1941, John J. Slocum and Herbert Cahoon — First Edition

Publication: London, Rupert Hart-Davis, 1953

Formatting: 8vo, pp. ix, [i], 195.

Condition Report: Very Good. The book maintains its structural integrity, exhibiting a tight binding with no major flaws to the maroon cloth boards, which remain sturdy despite slight rubbing to the extremities and minor bumping to the corners. The top-edge red stain is present but mildly faded, indicative of careful use and storage. Internally, the pages remain bright, clean, and free of foxing, marks, or tearing. The dust jacket remains fully intact and unclipped, but it displays noticeable sunning to the spine and minor edge-wear, alongside slight chipping and tiny creases at the head and tail of the spine, consistent with a well-preserved book of this vintage.

Catalogue Note: First UK Edition, published as part of Rupert Hart-Davis's esteemed 'The Soho Bibliographies' series. As noted on the copyright page, the text block was printed in the United States, reflecting the simultaneous transatlantic publication with Yale University Press.

The volume is unillustrated and presented in its original binding with the Soho Bibliographies dust jacket bearing the publisher's fox vignette. There are no notable ownership inscriptions or provenance markings within the text block itself.

While later reprints of this work are relatively abundant, securing a true 1953 first edition with its original, intact dust jacket is somewhat uncommon on the open market.

A cornerstone reference for scholars, collectors, and literary historians, A Bibliography of James Joyce 1882-1941 provides a comprehensive and meticulous catalogue of the great Irish author's published works. Compiled by John J. Slocum and Herbert Cahoon, this exhaustive volume meticulously details Joyce's books, pamphlets, contributions to periodicals, translations, and musical settings up to the mid-20th century. Issued as part of the prestigious Soho Bibliographies series, it remains an indispensable and highly respected tool for navigating the complex publication history of one of the modernist era's most influential and enduring voices.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
