The wrappers are detached as are most of the pages but the issue is complete, edgewear with chips and tears to the brittle paper, and toning, a good only copy.

Samuel, and more including an excerpt from "Il Marzocco" an Italian review of *A Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man* by James Joyce, translated from the Italian into English by Joyce himself (Slocum and Cahoon, C52). The review is quite positive and enthusiastic, one passage reads, in part, "His book is not alone an admirable work of art and thought; it is also a cry of revolt: it is the desire of a new artist to look upon the world with other eyes, to bring to the front his individual theories and to compel a listless public to reflect that there are another literature and another esthetic apprehension beyond those foisted upon us.".
