New Yorker magazine June 26 1948 Shirley Jackson The Lottery 1st edition FINE

  

The New Yorker Magazine, June 26 1948, the complete issue in gorgeous shape. Roger Duvoisin illustrated the cover. This issue includes the very first publication of the Shirley Jackson story "The Lottery, " the true first printing and edition- it was later published in a book in 1949. The pages are crisp and clean, without a hint of foxing or any other staining, no writing, nothing missing, no odors, tight to the staples, with a 1/4 tear at the top of the spine, and light creasing at the right-side corners and the lower staple.

Strictly graded 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 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.
