Soft cover. Condition: Good. Here is a single issue of "The Bookman" : Volume LXIV, No. 3, November 1926. There is always something of interest to be found in old issues of "The Bookman" - often many such somethings. In this issue is the First Appearance of a travel piece by Aldous Huxley ("Diary of an Eastern Journey"). Various authors have pieces on H. G. Wells (by a young Floyd Dell), Ellen Glasgow, Somerset Maugham, Edgar Allan Poe's Parents, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. There is a poem by Henry Morton Robinson - and poems by several others. To say that this issue reviews the then current literature is an understatement. This copy is in rough condition, with numerous imperfections, but it is complete, clean and intact in original wraps, and quite serviceable. (See below for our condition report) .

The front cover surface is fairly clear, while the back cover has weathering, mild staining and what seems to be a bit of foxing. Text-block edges are darkened. BINDING : One can easily see that the binding has been mended at its hinges, however, while the leaves open widely, no leaves are detached or loose. INTERIOR : Scattered foxing and or spotting (most obviously on those leaves closest to the covers); weathering along the edges; soft bumps to corner tips, with dog-eared tips scattered through.
