TEASER Swann

NEW YORK CITY – The top lot in Swann Auction Galleries’ June 17 Fine Books & Autographs auction was a large octavo volume of James Joyce’s Ulysses, published in London in 1936. It was number four from a deluxe limited issue printing of just 100 copies signed by Joyce from a total edition of 1,000. The original vellum-over-board cover featured a gilt Homeric bow design after Eric Gill on both the front and back covers. It shot to $21,250 from a $15/20,000 estimate. Watch for a longer sale recap in a future issue.
