Dubliners by Joyce, James - 1914

London: Grant Richards, 1914. First Edition. Fine. First edition, first printing. Bound in publisher's original red cloth lettered in gilt; lacking the dust jacket. A Fine and bright copy, with gilt still sharp. Cloth with light touches of wear, faint water-spot near foot of spine extending to rear cover, trivial rubbing to rear joint. Spine ends softened. First and final blank sheet offset. A superlative copy of a book normally found much worse for wear, and by far the nicest copy on the market at the time of cataloguing. One of a mere 746 copies in the first issue bound by Grant Richards and issued in London in 1914, from a total of 1,250 sheets. The remaining 504 sheets were sent to Huebsch in New York, but not issued until late 1916.
