The publication was a mid-century weekly magazine and is perfect for collectors of vintage magazines, mid-century Americana, and ephemera.

The magazines are in good to fair condition, they were surplussed from a city library so have some natural wear and tear. One page has a coupon or something cut out of it, and the library replaced about 5 damaged pages with photocopies but are of none of the articles, photos, or advertisements mentioned above. Because they are not in perfect condition I am selling them at a discounted price.
