First edition Ulysses expected to make €50,000
Published July 13th, 2006
A first edition of James Joyce’s Ulysses is reportedly expected to sell for tens of thousands of euro when it goes under the hammer in London today.
Sotheby’s regularly auctions first editions of the work; last December, it sold one for €95,000.
The 1922 print has a guide price of between €36,000 and €50,000, but is expected to fetch significantly more than this figure.
Only 750 first-edition copies of Ulysses were printed.
A signed copy set a world record when it sold for €460,000 at auction in New York four years ago.
