Descripción

Sturdy, attractive, tightly bound, internally clean hardcover copy, with a bruised tip to rear board, abraded paper thereat, scuffing to paper at tips, fore-edge, sunning along the edges, else with neat and tidy paste-downs; not ex-library, with neither highlighting nor underlining. Light green, heavy paper over boards, black cloth-backed, gilt titling to spine. A fine full color portrait by Augustus John of the artist, dare I say, as a young man, at frontis. Introduction and Editorial Note by Theodore Spencer. Black-and-white photostat of an original page of the manuscript, printed on high-gloss paper, plus a reproduction of the pages of Joyce's college program, also in black-and-white. From the publisher's blurb, "STEPHEN HERO is an early version of Joyce s PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN, probably completed about 1906. It is said that when the manuscript came back to Joyce after rejection by the twentieth publisher, he threw it into the fire, from which his wife was able to rescue only a portion." [6], 7-234 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
