Hardcover. Zustand: Fine in Fine Slipcase. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Laid in invoice and mss note to the original buyer, "Thomas Shannan" (Invoice under Jamie Murphy's name and mss note on 'The Salvage Press' letterhead). Mr. 'Shannan", according to Jamie, always bought 2 of each of his books as they were issued. Also according to Jamie, Thomas Shannan was a pseudonym for Andrew Shannon who was, at the time, on the lam from the police. Andrew Shannon is moderately infamous in Ireland. In 2012, Shannon visited the National Gallery of Ireland, in Dublin, where he attacked a Monet painting (Argenteuil Basin with a Single Sailboat (1874)), punching a large hole through it while shouting about the art world [there is actually an online game about this, google, "punch a monet 2014". Arrested over 4 dozen times for art/book theft, he was notably caputred with nearly 70 books stolen from Carton House in Kildare. A typographic homage to James Joyce's, Leopold Bloom. The woodtypes used are part of the Distillers Press collection. This is the first book printed under the imprint of the Salvage Press. "The Works of Master Poldy is the first-ever attempt to boil down the essence of Jame Joyce's seminal hero, Leopold Bloom, into a collection of his wide-ranging thoughts and quips. I collaborated with editor Steve Cole (Baltimore, Maryland, USA) on this book which has been designed, letterpress printed and hand bound in Dublin by Dublin based craftspeople. This is the first book produced under the imprint of The Salvage Press. The wood types are from the Distillers Press collection and include a large number of sans serif faces ranging in size from three to twenty lines. They include designs cut by Day & Collins, Stephenson, Blake & Co. and Delittle of York. Alongside these is DeLittle's ten line Caslon Italic and an instance of two sizes of their Elongated French Clarendon. The majority of the body text has been Monotype cast in fourteen point Baskerville series 169 by Phil Abel and Nick Gill at Hand & Eye Letterpress, London. The twenty four point Granby Inline that accompanies the wood type and the remaining justified Baskerville was set by hand." [Publisher's statement] "The book contains excerpts from the original text which are either thought of or spoken by Bloom. These are juxtaposed with texts relating directly to his surroundings. Through playful typography, the book serves to make a dense text more easily accessible." [review]. Tight, bright, and unmarred.
