The New Yorker Magazine, July 8, 1939, the complete issue in extraordinary shape. Richard Taylor did the cover.The writers in this issue include: Arther Kober, Peter De Vries, John C. Mosher, Ogden Nash, H.L. Mencken, Rolfe Humphries, Frances McFadden, Leo Rosten, Robert M. Coates, Patricia Collinge, and Edward Newhouse.The cartoonists are: Robert J. Day, Charles Addams, Whitney Darrow, Jr., Helen E. Hokinson, Gardner Rea, Alan Dunn, Gluyas Williams, Otto Soglow, Garrett Price, Richard Decker, George PRice, Sydney Hoff, and Alain.This issue also includes a profile of William Schlemmer, head of Hammacher Schlemmer & Company. 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/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.
