Between the Covers

Softcover. First edition. Complete set, with issue four never published. Small quartos. Printed paper wrappers, some with partially unopened pages. Issue one is about fine, Two and Three are near fine with some bumping to the yapped edges, and Five is composed of loose signatures with the wraps present but separated and in two pieces, thus fair. An obscure little magazine that mixed American expatriates with local Southwestern writers and was once believed, according to Ezra Pound, to be the next *Little Review*. Issue One features very early appearances of Paul Bowles ("The Church"), Kenneth Rexroth (a two-page story, "She Left Him"), and Charles Henri Ford ("Short Poem About a Gunman"); Issue Two is dedicated to Harry Crosby and features Bowles ("Serenade Au Cap"); Issue Three has a two-page letter from Pound; and Issue Five, "tri-lingual" issue, includes Bowles ("Eight") and Louis Zukofsky ("from two dedications"). A complete run of a difficult to find magazine.
