Hello,
I never rely on you and rarely frequent this kind of thread but I've made an unexpected acquisition (I'm a book dealer) and I would like your opinion about it. It's an early print of the 1932 third edition of James Joyce's “Ulysses”, barely used, with the famous “Not to be introduced into the British Empire or the U.S.A.” mention. It's a limited press luxury copy, with the two volumes and its case, the whole with no flaw or handwritten notes. I don't trade this kind of book, and I would like to know how much you would evaluate it. I'm considering selling it between 100$ and 250$. Is it a reasonable price? It really is in a perfect condition. No stain, no torn/folded pages. The case still have its original lace.
Also, acquisition thread.

If I can't sell it back, at least I would have finally read this book.

I'd be really surprised if you were actually a book dealer yet couldn't evaluate the price of this yourself.

I don't trade this kind of book. Actually, I rarely even have the opportunity to deal with English written material. I would expect a much more realistic price here than checking what's going on AbeBooks or Amazon.

I'm no expert on Joyce, but $100 would be a good starting point for that book, since it's not a first edition, but a pristine copy of a 1932 edition.

That's what I thought but I read the third edition—apparently the first “real” professional one—is of much more quality regarding the text accuracy, so I was wondering if 100$ may be too cheap for a luxury print.
