A beautifully bound, handsome copy of two early issues of this important literary review produced in Paris in the twenties. Sylvia Beach in her book "Shakespeare and Company, talks of 'transition': "All the best Anglo-Saxon and European work of the period appeared in it, much of it for the first time. Of all the reviews I came in contact with, 'transition' was the most vital, the longest-lived, and the review that I felt was most intelligently devoted to the interests of new writing." Contributors include: James Joyce, Gottfried Benn, Elliot Paul, Rainer Maria Rilke, Kay Boyle, William Carlos Williams, Gertrude Stein, Morley Callaghan, Man Ray, Max Ernst, Pavel Tchelitcheff, Laura Riding, Size: 12mo.
