GYLDENDAL has brought out the first Danish translation of James Joyce’s ‘The Cats of Copenhagen’ in time for Christmas 2012. Gyldendal’s book for children, Københavnerkatte, is translated by Suzanne Brøgger, illustrated by Casey Sorrow, and beautifully designed by Maria Lundén for the Danish language in expressive typography inspired by Michael Caine’s original setting for our Ithys Press first edition.

Scribner / Simon & Schuster has just launched the first US edition of James Joyce’s The Cats of Copenhagen, by special arrangement with Ithys Press. We’re delighted that Scribner’s Cats — they’re more like kittens, really! — will reach a wide readership; something we, as a small fine-press simply aren’t geared up to do. Best of all, the Scribner edition features Michael Caine’s visually astonishing typography and Casey Sorrow’s wonderfully inventive illustrations, all in a compact little volume, just half the size of our own.
And for those first-edition collectors out there, we do have just a few copies of the Numbered issue of the original Ithys Press edition still available. Email us if you’re interested at: contact@ithyspress.com
