First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Volume 3, No. 12 - Volume 4, No. 5. Slim small quartos. Heavily illustrated in black and white. General wear, each issue with a mailing label and owner signature, two issues with inked tic marks next to an article or two, and one with a small area of loss to the corner of the first leaf, a very good set of a rather uncommon magazine. A nice-sized run of an interesting Chicago magazine that covered Chicago politics, culture, nightlife, and restaurants. The magazine prints interviews (Bobby Hull, Howard K. Smith), and is also notable for printing two early articles by noted journalist and foreign correspondent Georgie Anne Geyer: "Birth Control Moves Ahead," and "Woodlawn: A Community in Revolt," the June 1962 cover story about the growing political power of the African-American community of Woodlawn. Issues appear to be uncommon; *OCLC* locates nine serial entries (six in Illinois), and show no holdings after Volume 5, Number 2 (February 1964) which we presume to be its final issue. An interesting snapshot of Chicago in the early 1960s.
