typographical errors   The original edition of Ulysses contains more than 2000 errata. Several factors contributed to this outcome: Sylvia Beach's inexperience as a publisher; Joyce's poor eyesight, which made it difficult for him to correct galleys; the book's printer Maurice Darantière's inexperience at typesetting English texts; Joyce's many late changes to the text; the avant-garde nature of the work.

S. B.   Sylvia Beach, proprietor of the Parisian bookstore Shakespeare and Company. She published Joyce's Ulysses on 2 February 1922. The printer was Maurice Darantière of Dijon. See Title Page.
