    The color's covers are supposed to evoke "the white islands in the blue sea" of Greece (Richard Ellmann's biography "James Joyce").

      Also evokes the colors of Gerty MacDowell panties

      I wonder if this same evocation applies to the Greek flag, after which scholars say the cover's colors were modeled.

    That will be worth 750K within 10-15 years. If you are lucky enough to have that copy do not sell it unless you are homeless.

    Also, it just happens that blue is Dublins colour. 😉

    If the book is falling apart just use some duct tape or maybe gorilla glue. Make it good as new

      It means the copy is in better condition, hence more valuable in terms of collecting and investment, than it would otherwise be.

      They don't use gloves, it desensitises the fingers making tarring more of a risk
