New Yorker magazine August 1 1942 Thomas Merton Nancy Hale FINE

Description

The New Yorker Magazine, August 1 1942, complete issue in gorgeous shape. Rea Irvin did the cover. This issue includes the Thomas James Merton poem "Aubade: Lake Erie" (his first of two poems published in The NYer), the Nancy Hale story "The Fair," other stories by Arthur Kober, Sylvia Townsend Warner, 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 Fine; it is in extraordinary shape, 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 exquisite vintage 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. All our New Yorkers are shipped in archival-quality sleeves with backing boards.
