Behold, the magnum opus of the 20th century, now adorned in a splendid Clothbound Classics centenary edition. Ulysses, the unparalleled masterpiece by James Joyce, unfolds over a single Dublin day—16th June 1904—chronicling the exploits of Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom, and his wife Molly. This literary behemoth stands as a testament to the human experience, having weathered storms of censorship, controversy, and legal battles.
Despite being branded blasphemous by some, Ulysses remains an unassailable pillar of modernist literature. Its pages overflow with ceaseless innovation, loquacious prose, moments of mirth and sorrow, vulgarity and lyricism, ultimately offering redemption. This extraordinary work embodies Joyce's conviction that literature serves as 'the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'.
Dear reader, prepare to embark on a literary adventure unlike any other. Ulysses awaits, ready to challenge, captivate, and transform your perception of the written word. The game is afoot!

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
