Chamber Music
London: Elkin Mathews, 1907. First Edition. Near Fine. Original green cloth, lettered in gilt to the front panel and spine. The green of the spine is just a shade paler than that of the front and rear boards. Previous owner book-plate to the front paste-down. Gorman, an early Joyce biographer, states there were 509 copies of the first printing. The book appears in three variants with this one being variant "C." The poems in signature c are poorly centered. Some very minor shelf-wear to the spine ends and very minor foxing to the endpapers. Slocum and Cahoon, #3 - pp 5-9.
