Limited Edition of 500 Numbered Copies, Signed by Louis Le Brocquy.

Published shortly before his death, this was the last major piece of book-design by Liam Miller. It remains as one of the finest achievements of the Dolmen Press, and one of the outstanding books printed in Ireland during the twentieth-century.

It features twelve lithographs by renowned Irish artist Louis le Brocquy, whose stark, evocative style complements the psychological depth and urban realism of Joyce’s short stories. This edition also includes a typographical note by Liam Miller, the founder of Dolmen Press, whose design sensibility shaped the visual identity of Irish literature in print.
