American bookseller and expatriate Sylvia Beach published James Joyce’s controversial novel Ulysses in 1922 and worked closely with him on reading and correcting proofs. The book had been rejected by several established publishers. Segments of it had been judged obscene in England and the United States. The 1,000-copy first printing of the novel was sold exclusively by Beach’s Parisian bookshop, Shakespeare and Company, and over the next 11 years she sold some 28,000 copies of 14 further printings
