JOYCE, James. Finnegans Wake. London: Faber and Faber, [1939].
JOYCE, James. Finnegans Wake. London: Faber and Faber, [1939]. 8 o . Original cloth; dust jacket (light chipping to edges of panels, minor staining to lower panel). FIRST ENGLISH EDITION, trade issue. 3,400 sets of sheets for the trade edition of Finnegans Wake were printed for Faber and Faber; of these, 2,255 were bound and sold at 25 shillings, 950 were destroyed by the publisher, and the remaining were gratis copies. It is possible that the 950 discarded sets of sheets remained unsold because of the price; certainly Joyce, writing to Daniel Brody (his German publisher) felt that, "In my opinion the price is altogether too high but it does not depend on me' (letter of 5 March 1939, J. Joyce Letters (London: 1957-1965), III, p. 437). Slocum & Cahoon A47; Connolly The Modern Movement 87.
