Condition: Very Good. Kokomo, IN: Recreational Reading, 1949-1950. Five octavo volumes (9.25" x 7"); 130pp each. Pulp magazines. Illustrated paper wraps. Each volume with shallow chips and tears along edges, with a few larger chips to rear of Feb. issue (no loss of text), and some general light creasing and smudging to surfaces.

Spines variously creased and faded, with a few chipped away at edges. Three issues with tape reinforcement to cover interiors along edges. Pages toned (Feb. and Apr. more lightly so) but unmarked.

Van Dongen, and a letter to the editor by an opinionated and question-brimming 15-year-old Robert Silverberg, among others. The magazine folded before a planned sixth issue was finished.…
