New Yorker magazine December 30 1944 Somerset Maugham Shirley Jackson VERY FINE

Description

The New Yorker Magazine, December 30, 1944, complete issue in extraordinary shape. Constantin Alajalov did the cover. This issue includes the first half of an extensive profile of W. Somerset Maugham, the Shirley Jackson story "When Things Get Dark," the H.L. Mencken story "Stare Decisis," 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 Very Fine; 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.
