FOR SALE - My copy of A James Joyce Yearbook,
edited and with a foreword by Maria Jolas, Paris
Transition Press 1949. In fine condition with
original glassine wrappers. First edition, limited
to 1000 numbered copies only. Illustrated with
photographs and manuscript facsimiles, errata
slip bound in rear. Currently, another copy of
this book is being offered by Buddenbrooks for
$800.

Hate to let it go but economic circumstances
make it necessary - to a good home only.

Use the email link above to contact me if
interested. Here’s more information, gathered
from the internet:

A James Joyce Yearbook

Scarce, especially with the original publisher's
glassine wrapper. Despite the ambitious title of
"Yearbook," this was the only issue ever
published. Includes Stuart Gilbert's article,
"Sketch of a Scenario of Anna Livia Plurabelle,"
as well as articles such as "Last Meeting with
Joyce" by Heinrich Straumann, "In Memory of
Joyce" by Paul Léon, "Recollections of James
Joyce" by Phillipe Soupault, "The Finn Cycle" by
Clémence Ramnoux, and others.

And more here:
In 1949, Maria Jolas and her Transition
Press published an extraordinary book called
the James Joyce Yearbook. History buffs and
Paris expat enthusiasts instantly acknowledge
the role that "transition" contributed to 20th
Century literature.
