Here we offer the first American edition, stated sixth printing, of James Joyce's classic first novel, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, published by B.W. Huebsch in 1925. One of the books targeted by the Nazi book burnings, this is rated the third best novel ever written by Modern Library. This first edition comes wrapped in an acid-free, newly-remastered facsimile of the first edition dust jacket that you can get only here, printed with archival inks on a heavy eggnog sheet of ph-neutral, vellum-textured French art paper.

Edgeworn boards (please see pics.) Endpapers have begun to split at front gutter. They bear lending library bookplates at front and rear (please see pics). Excellent hinges; nicely-preserved copy. Very tight and square binding; very clean, bright and crisp text. 299 pages. The book measures approximately 7.5 x 5.25-inches. Dust jacket comes sleeved in ph-neutral Mylar, ready to slip into your collection.

This modernist classic will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a very thoughtful gift!
