200,00 kr.
First trade printing – One of only 150 numbered copies (# 99). “Bibliothèques invisibles, toujours” is the collective work published in March 1995 as fascicle number 71 of La Bibliothèque oulipienne, the ongoing series of potential and constrained literature produced by members of the Oulipo (Ouvroir de littérature potentielle). This work builds upon the earlier Oulipian concept of the “invisible library” (inspired in part by Italo Calvino, Raymond Queneau, and Georges Perec), following an earlier 1990 fascicle titled Les Bibliothèques invisibles. It explores imaginary, potential, or conceptual arrangements of books and library shelves (such as contributions by figures like Walter Henry and Jacques Roubaud)

A rare First Edition of Ulysses from Sylvia Beach’s Shakespeare & Co, a very good copy of the 11th Printing – the final version before the printing of the novel left Paris and moved elsewhere. The book was still banned in the States until 1934. This copy was Børge (Boerge) Houmann’s copy (not signed). Houmann, a prominent Danish communist and resistance fighter, was working a translation of Joyce’s novel Ulysses, but tragically could not find the translation after the War. The manuscript had disappeared, apparently confiscated and later lost by Danish police, who got ahead of their German colleagues by lovingly caring for the Danish Communists. In all a highly collectable copy.
