Twenty-five issues in twenty-three volumes (21.5cm); original pictorial card wrappers. Two issues (No.7-8 and 12) Very Good+, with a small splash mark to base of spine and sliver of loss to front hinge on no.7-8, and some warping and a small tear to spine on no.12. Remaining volumes show some light wear to extremities, the occasional tiny nick or tear to spine ends, an occasional crease to wrappers, but on the whole, uniformly Near Fine. A few of Rikhoff's periodically-issues pamhlets, titled "Troubles of a Small Magazine" are laid in. Complete run of this magazine produced by author, editor, and educator Jean Rikhoff (1926-2018), who sought during six turbulent years to publish "a true "literary" magazine NOT the academic journal or the psuedo-sophisticated slick, but a magazine which presents real information and ideas on all aspects of the arts" (More Troubles of a Small Magazine, p.1). Rikhoff claimed that the 50s had become an era of resurrecting and re-examining the shadows of Joyce, Kafka, Melville, Fitzgerald, and other fashionable names, and that nobody, especially magazines, gave new writers a chance anymore. "The plain statement of why and how we started QUIXOTE might read something like this: we believed that a new magazine was needed and we started one." The magazine was an important vehicle for the early work of Charles Bukowski, with contributions by Fielding Dawson, John Ciardi, Jerome Rothenberg, Robert Kelly, Joyce Engleton, Gene Frumkin, Robert Bloom, Barbara Reid, Tom Poots, Stefan Kanfer, Rosanne Robinson, Lawrence Stapleton, Evelyn Eaton, and others.
