The New Yorker Magazine, December 23, 1939, complete issue in gorgeous shape. Perry Barlow illustrated the cover.

Among the writers in this issue: Sally Benson ("The Best Things Come In Small Packages," which was the third of the stories Benson wrote for her character Judy Graves), Frank Sullivan, John O'Hara, E.B. White, Harry Brown, George Shepherd, Brendan Gill, and others.

The cartoonists are M.K. Barlow, John Milligan, Mary Petty, Carl Rose, Whitney Darrow, Jr., Peter Arno, Sydney Hoff, Garrett Price, Richard Taylor, Alain, Charles Addams, Ned Hilton, Helen E. Hokinson, and Otto Soglow.

The pages are crisp and clean, bright white without a hint of foxing or any other staining, no writing, no creases, nothing missing, tight to the staples. Strictly graded Fine; it is in great shape, put away when brand new (along with many others we have) by an obsessive New Yorker collector from whom we acquired it, untouched since new until now. We have many other beautiful New Yorkers online now so please take a look. All our New Yorkers ship in archival sleeves with backing boards. The images we show are of the actual magazine you will receive.
