No. 8 - the eighth issue of the original first series of this renowned poetry magazine, edited by Tambimuttu, published during the Second World War. Of interest to collectors of poetry first editions, and the publications of Poetry London. ***The wartime issues of Poetry (London) magazine are now quite scarce, and copies in such nice collectable condition are seldom seen. Issue No. 8 was the second of the series to have a full colour cover, and be expanded from 36 to 64 pages, which was quite a challenge considering it was published under wartime restrictions. A superb example of this magazine. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
