Any Joyce fan would love to have this CD-ROM simply from the content alone. It has pretty much everything you could want.

The only drawback is the difficulty in accessing the material. I suppose in order to save enough space on the CD to put in so much text they had to do away with the frills. However, anyone doing any deep study in the works of Joyce will find this CD invaluable.

James Joyce's work speaks for itself - albeit often in long, convoluted sentences - and therefore, a review of his collected work does not begin to do the thousands of pages found in this collection justice. This is truly a must-have for any Joyce fan.

This collection can prove to be particularly valuable to the thousands of office drones out there (like myself) who do not have the courage to pick up a book during working hours, for fear that their bosses may reprimand them for 'wasting company time.' Now you can read Joyce's work on your computer screen at work. You may go blind doing so because of the radiation, but it is better than losing your eyesight by reading spreadsheets all day.
