The New Yorker Magazine, April 23, 1955, complete issue in extraordinary shape, as-new. Abe Birnbaum did the cover. This issue includes writing by
S. J.Perelman,
Alastair Reid (the poem "A Game of Glass: Spain),
Vladimir Nabokov ("Pnin's Day"),
Phyllis McGinley,
Robert Lewis Taylor,
Wolcott Gibbs,
Mollie Panter-Downes,
Frederick Ebright,
Tom Ostrowski,
G. F. T. Ryall,
Mary P. Cable,
John Brooks,
Henry Pratt Fairchild,
Rolfe Humphries,
Winthrop Sargeant,
Janet Flanner,
John McCarten, and more. The pages are crisp and clean, bright white without a hint of foxing or any other staining, no writing, no creases, nothing missing, tight to the staples. Strictly graded Near Mint; it was put away when brand new (along with many others we have) by an obsessive New Yorker collector from whom we acquired it, untouched since new until now. We have many other New Yorker issues from this once-in-a-lifetime collection, so if there is one you want that you don't see in our listings yet, please let us know.
