All volumes are custom-bound in dark blue cloth-effect boards, lettered in gilt on spine panels, two (and occasionally three) volumes bound in one (thus 34 volumes bound in 16), approx. 130 issues total.

Lacks Vols. 9 (1958), 43-46 (1994-97) for completion (and of course Vols. 1-8, when still published as Pennsylvania Dutchman).

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Complete run of The Pennsylvania Dutchman/Pennsylvania Folklife, 1949-1997. This influential periodical began as a biweekly newspaper (first issue dated 5 May 1949), eventually migrating to a quarterly magazine (final issue dated Spring 1997). Vols. 1-22 are custom-bound in brown leatherette, lettered in gilt on front covers and spine panels, Vols. 1-3 in the original elephant folio format of the Dutchman, Vols. 4-22 in standard quarto magazine format. (Note that the title changed to "Pennsylvania Folklife" with Vol. 9.) Vols. 23-46 are unbound, each issue individually sleeved. Vol. 1 consists of 25 issues (with some still bright white, suggesting that they are possibly from a later reprint), Vols. 2-3 of 22 each, Vols. 4-5 of 15 each, Vols. 7-45 mostly of 4 each (with some volumes in the '60s including an unnumbered 5th "Folk Festival" issue), and Vol. 46 of 3 issues (all published), totaling about 260 issues. The entire set is solid Near Fine to Fine, the bound volumes all essentially as issued (except of course for having been bound in hardcover), and the unbound issues show only slight handling wear in some cases, most virtually unworn. The bound volumes show two former owner signatures/stamps on the front flyleaf of each volume but are otherwise unmarked. A rare opportunity to purchase a complete run of a publication that has become almost impossible to assemble "in the wild." Delivery options possible, depending on location. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Book.…
