You Are Bidding On A:

 

November 11, 1939 “Detective Fiction Weekly” Vol. 132, #4 Pulp Magazines 

This is the November 11, 1939 “Detective Fiction Weekly, (formerly Flynn’s)” Vol. 132, #4. The covers and spine have tears and wrinkles from lots of usage, but it is in pretty good shape for a 78 year old magazine. A reader put check marks beside each story on the Table of Contents page as they read this issue.  Please see the photos for condition; I tried to show exactly how it looks.

Published when the Great Depression was still in effect and WW2 had just begun, these magazines were part of a library reading room in Central Arkansas.

Because the reading rooms were heavily used in those days and since the library was not air conditioned, the high humidity here in the summers took its toll on the covers at that time and while in basement storage. 

 My mother told me that my Grandparents took her and her older brothers to the library on Saturday while they did their weekly shopping and her brothers always fought over who got the new issues of the Detective magazines.
