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.
