Deal, Or No Deal?
A bound volume of The New Yorker‘s first 19 issues has resurfaced on Ebay.
As you can see the volume has no front cover — it begins with the magazine’s very first issue, a bit rough around the “strap” (as is the volume’s spine, shown below) This volume is being offered for $2,599.99.
All of these early issues — especially the earliest, and even more especially the debut issue, are never a bargain. Currently on Ebay there are at least three single debut issues: one for…whoa!…$24,302.00, one for $4,499.99, and one for $3,999.99.
So the bound volume: deal, or no deal?
