Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce

Review copy of the first edition of Joyce’s late masterpiece and one of the most confounding works of 20th century literature. Includes a perforated stamp on the last page of the text reading ‘Complimentary copy - not for sale’, having come originally from the library of Edwin Muir, who wrote one of the early reviews. Unfortunately there is no library stamp or other ownership signature. Published by Faber in 1939, there is one line of ink to the last page of text, some foxing to the front and end papers, and the dust jacket is lacking, but overall a very good copy of the first edition.
