About This Item
Complete set of the five issues of "Two Worlds" magazine in which five installments of James Joyce's "Work in Progress" appeared between September 1925 and September 1926. Overall, a Very Good set of a rare and ephemeral publication.
Vols. 1-4 in the original black card slipcases; Vol. 5 in an mylar wrapper. Volumes 1-4 are in very good or better condition; Volume 5 (in the larger format, not issued in a slipcase) has a clean and tight interior but a soiled cover, with a crease to the lower front corner which has been backed with archival repair tissue on the verso. Slipcases for Vols. 2-4 very good with some rubbing; slipcase for Vol. 1 is lacking head piece. Please see photographs.
