Here is a good condition copy of "DOWN EAST, The Magazine of Maine", for  SEPTEMBER, 1976, Volume XXIII, Number 2. This magazine is still in business, with a much larger distribution than back in its early years in the early 1960s! These early issues are very hard to find nowadays.

  This issue is for sale as a back issue by the publisher of "Down East" for $20.00, if they still happen to have a copy of it in stock!!!

     This issue has cover art " VILLAGE PROFILE, SHEEPSCOT ", by  F Wenderoth Saunders, of Sheepscot.

 It is in fairly good condition, with clean pages that are bright and readable. The binding is somewhat cocked. There is some slight wear at the edge of the covers and some of the pages, and the 4 color center section is detached.

Great for the diehard Maine history / memorabilia collector!
