(and this won’t be the first time this’ll happen). The first edition to have the dot as a dot is actually the French translation of 1929; the first English edition to have it is the Odyssey Press edition of 1932. American Random House edition of 1934 and the British Bodley Head of 36 don’t have it.

Who noticed the large dot at the end of Ithaca? [not all editions of Ulysses have it and it's sometimes in the wrong place in others...]
