The New Yorker Magazine, December 17, 1949, the complete issue in extraordinary shape. Abe Birnbaum did the cover. This issue includes the writing of
Peter Taylor,
E. B. White,
Phyllis McGinley,
Jean Boley,
Hugh Mearns,
Eugene Kinkead,
Dorothy Loder,
Wolcott Gibbs,
G. F. T. Ryall,
Janet Flanner,
Robert M. Coates,
Robert Clurman,
Philip Hamburger,
Morris Bishop,
Winthrop Sargeant,
John McCarten, and others. 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, almost 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.
