Description: This edition was first conceived by the director of the Arion Press, Andrew Hoyem, in 1978. In 1984, he approached Robert Motherwell, whose favorite modern author was Joyce, to create the illustrations. The finished edition contains 40 etchings, 20 in color, by Motherwell. A total of 175 copies were printed, 150 numbered and offered for sale.

The copy text of this edition is the 1961 Random House edition. John Kidd, the outspoken critic of the 1984 Gabler edition of "Ulysses," proposed a total of 1600 changes based on a comparison with the 1922 first edition and manuscripts. However, it is unclear which changes Hoyem accepted and whether additional ones were made; Kidd complained that Hoyem had "his own ideas about how Joyce should have spelled and punctuated" the book.
