First printings. Two Volume set. Ho Hum: Newsbreaks from "The New Yorker"--a Very Good copy in green cloth stamped in blue, topstain, lacking the dustwrapper. Trivial wear to points, spine darkened, text and endpapers clean and unmarked. 116pp. Another Ho Hum: More Newsbreaks from "The New Yorker"--a Very Good copy in orange cloth stamped in dark blue, topstain, lacking the dustwrapper. Spine faded, trivial wear to points, one tiny hurt point top rear board, text and endpapers clean and unmarked. 124pp. E.B. White, who writes the Forward for each of these volumes, invented a device for filling up the space at the end of magazine columns: Quotations from print media that were nonsensical or absurd on their face, and commenting upon them, sort of like linguistic cartoons. These were one of the signature forms of The New Yorker magazine, which continued long after White left it.Quite uncommon. The set. Q12691.
