Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near fine. First UK edition. First UK edition. Thin 8vo. Pp. [1]-36. Sewn card wrappers with integral yellow dust wrapper printed in red. Fore and bottom edges untrimmed. Priced One Shilling Net to front. Issued as Criterion Miscellany No. 26. Originally published as a limited edition in June 1930 by Babou and Kahane in Paris and The Fountain Press in the U.S. The sewn paper-wrappered issue, one of an unspecified number of copies, published May 8, 1931; the rest of the edition was issued clothbound. In 1948, Faber reported that it had sold only 249 copies of the cloth edition, and 5341 copies of the soft-cover. Lacking the fragile glassine overlay. A trifle dust-soiled and age-toned to cover extremities, otherwise a very nice internally clean, bright copy. Fragment of Work in Progress, forming pp.532-554 of Finnegans Wake, as the text stood in June of 1930. Reviewing the book in the New Statesman, G. W. Stonier, whilst calling Joyce "one of the very few great writers of our time" who deserved "not a little admiration", confessed that Haveth Childers Everywhere was "to [him] at least, almost completely unintelligible." A sentiment shared by the New York Times's Herbert Matthews, who admitted that "after an honest and patient effort, backed by a previous reading of all of Mr. Joyce's work", he found the author's "attempt to enrich and refashion the English language . . . absolutely incomprehensible". To which Joyce's advice to William Bird (1888-1963), the American journalist and publisher of Three Mountains Press in Paris during the 1920s, might serve as an apt riposte: "It's all so simple. If anyone doesn't understand a passage, all he need do is read it aloud." Even while taking heed of Joyce's subsequent warning that he "put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what [he] meant", his instruction above sounds true. Comprehension is much aided if read aloud, especially in an Irish accent. [Slocum and Cahoon A42] 52. Seller Inventory # KR6 U74
