Re joyce part 1

For two dollars he bought a copy of Ulysses. Two dollars for a book of some of the best English language ever written. Twentieth century Shakespeare. Appropriately original publisher - Shakespeare & Co. Unfortunately it was not one of those copies, but it was a hardcover Everyman edition from the fifties or maybe the sixties. Most important was the font size. How many people their lives ruined by trying to read micro-dot re-issues, Melville, Cervantes, Homer, Shakespeare and epically Joyce! All squished into cheap toilet paper stock so as to be sold on the cheap. Words the size of Joyce's need space and a paper firm enough to hold them. Too close and not only strains the eyes but the reader cant help but skip ahead hoping for some oasis from the claustrophobic inevitably blame the work as tiresome difficult and not worth the bother. Some one said you cannot take one word out of Joyce's work without ruining the whole thing (proves it is a work of poetry). You cannot also smear those words together and not ruin the whole work. Each must have space to stand alone alongside each other word. Then equally as part of the whole they can be savored and the genius of Joyce made obvious.
