"Ulysses suppressed four times during serial publication in 'The Little Review' will be published by 'Shakespeare and Company' complete as written. This edition is private and will be limited to 1.000 copies..."--Page [3].
At least three variant editions of the prospectus were printed; the first two claim that Ulysses "will be published in the Autumn of 1921." In between printing the forms, Shakespeare and Company moved from 8, rue Dupuytren to its now famous 12, rue de l'Odeon address. See: Crispi, Luca and Stacey Herbert, In good company (2003), page 13.
Portrait of Joyce mounted to page [2].
