typographical errors The original edition of Ulysses contains more than 2000 errata.[7] Several factors contributed to this outcome: Sylvia Beach's inexperience as a publisher;[8] Joyce's poor eyesight, which made it difficult for him to correct galleys;[9] the book's printer Maurice Darantière's inexperience at typesetting English texts;[10] Joyce's many late changes to the text;[11] the avant-garde nature of the work.[12]
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.

Joyce, it seems, treated the galleys as drafts to be improved upon, whereas he should have been searching them for typographical errors. - ↑ Gorman, Herbert Sherman (1939). James Joyce.
