A University of California Press reference volume: page-by-page annotations to James Joyce's Ulysses, revised and expanded from the first edition. The print is small, the entries are dense, and the book is indispensable if you intend to read Joyce with any precision. The California paperback is thick, with the serious blue cover that signals reference rather than pleasure reading. California kept the revised edition in print because readers of Joyce still need the help. Ideal reader: the reader tackling Ulysses with a pencil and a tolerance for detail, or the scholar who needs to check a reference without pretending to know it already.
