New Yorker magazine June 5 1948 Just Before The War with the Eskimos J.D Salinger first edition

The New Yorker Magazine, June 5 1948, complete issue in gorgeous shape. Leonard Dove illustrated the cover. This issue includes the first published appearance of the JD Salinger story "Just Before the War with the Eskimos," and more. The pages are crisp and clean, without a hint of foxing or any other staining, no writing, nothing missing, tight to the staples. Strictly graded "Fine" - it's an absolutely as-new Near Mint example, with a minor 1.5" split at the top of the spine; 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 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.
