A first edition of James Joyce's Ulysses is reportedly expected to sell for tens of thousands of euro when it goes under the hammer in London today.

Reports this morning say the book has a guide price of up to €50,000, but is expected to fetch significantly more than this figure.

Only 750 first-edition copies of Ulysses were printed.

A signed copy set a world record when it sold for €460,000 at auction in New York four years ago.
