New Yorker magazine December 5 1977 Backgammon Paul Magriel vs George Plimpton

Description

The New Yorker Magazine, December 5 1977, complete issue in good shape. Eugene Mihaesco did the cover. This issue includes a Talk of the Town article about George Plimpton playing Paul Magriel at backgammon at the 21 Club restaurant, with quotes from both (Magriel explains how he acquired his nickname) and a description of the game, and more. The pages are crisp and clean, white without a hint of foxing or any other staining, no writing, nothing missing, tight to the staples. Strictly graded "Good" with rubbing on the covers but otherwise as-new; 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 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.
