The top outer corner of the page block has been slightly bumped, with slight creasing to the page corner tips. Bottom edge of spine slightly rubbed and scuffed, and the spine edges have some rubbing and surface loss, but with no loss to the fragile spine covering. Internally also very good with no previous ownership inscriptions and no internal foxing. Inside covers slightly browned. No creases or tears - other than the aforementioned slight creasing to the top corner tips.

New Writing was a popular literary periodical in book format founded in 1936 by John Lehmann and committed to anti-fascism. During the Second World War, in 1940, with New Writing's future uncertain, John Lehmann wrote New Writing in Europe which was published by Penguin Books, a critical summary of the writers of the 1930s. ***Allen Lane of Penguin Books managed to secure paper for a new series which became Penguin New Writing, a monthly book-magazine, this time produced as a paperback. Penguin New Writing ran to 40 issues in total, surviving until 1950. ***First impression of the true first edition of John Lehmann's Penguin New Writing Issue 27, published in April 1946. A very good copy, albeit with the above-mentioned faults - of interest to collectors of collectable Penguin paperbacks. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
