Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be the 1949 Edition "James Joyce A Definitive Biography " by Gorman Herbert , published by John Lane the Bodley Head, the dust jacket missing. The reproduction of the Augustus John drawing apparently is an offset print, there is no indication that this is a numbered limited edition. The estimate is based on similar books of the same edition available online.

Plus it is the 1941 edition
Hi it is most definitely not a print - undoubtedly drawn on. I have seen similar copies without the drawing at the front so it is not an offset print
