This well-preserved softcover edition is in near fine condition, showing no marks or tears and only minimal shelf wear. The pages are clean and tight with light annotations, and the binding remains firm. This edition features a foreword by Morris L. Ernst, the lawyer who successfully defended Ulysses against obscenity charges in the landmark 1933 case United States v. One Book Called Ulysses. In his foreword, Ernst recounts the historic legal battle that led to the novel’s legalization in the U.S.—a pivotal victory for literary freedom. This printing helped establish Ulysses as a modernist masterpiece and made it widely accessible to American readers.
