First and second back endpapers

£3.00

The second back end-paper has a doodle of an equilateral triangle with a vertex of 134 degrees. Its significance is probably purely geometrical. But the first end-paper clearly shows a blotted address. This could have been made by anyone, and so far no-one has been able to suggest a reading of the address. Whether or not it turns out to relate to Joyce, its existence could have helped to inspire the passage where Bloom ia writing to his pen friend and ‘blotted quick on pad of Pat’ so the waiter does not get the chance to read the address.
