Some marking and browning particularly to spines overall just about VG set in publishers decorated wrappers. Notable for it's publication of extracts from Burroughs' Naked Lunch which led to 400 copies of the first issue being impounded. Rosenthal and Carroll sued the Post Office in the District Court of Chicago, where Judge Julius Hoffman ruled it not obscene.The Magazine was a major influence in modern American literature. As Thomas Pynchon described it, what happened at Chicago became shorthand for some unimaginable subversive threat among literature students at Cornell University. Rosenthal left after the first issue of the magazine, while Carroll continued for the duration of its publication. ISBN B000X64D5Y.
