Beautiful Near-Complete Collection Granta Literary Magazine 1983-2021 158 books
All issues of Granta found in the closed bookstore (see boilerplate description), a handful I already had and a few others provided by a friend who helped fill out the collection. Issues 1-6 were annual issues in the late 70s to early 80s and starting with issue 7, Granta began publishing several times per year. All are of a "trade paperback" construction. Overall, the collection looks unique and beautiful on a shelf given the construction and aesthetic quality of this publication. Issues missing : 1-6, 12, 14, 17-18, 91, 94 (12 issues) With the exception of 1-6, most of these are easily available.
There have been a few issues since 155. Repeat issues : 20, 24, 37, 38, 100, 123, 127 (2), 128, 129, 131, 135, 137, 139, 147. Most of the books are in VG or better condition, with several seeming basically new. There are some small exceptions to this: Barcode sticker on spine: 16, 25, 30, 40, 62.
Peeled spot where (presumably) sticker once was: 10, 15, 19. Issue 68 has a small tear on the top of the rear cover. Issue 140 has some wear to the to of the spine edge. Please consider this in your interest in this item. So I cleaned out an old bookstore. In Southern, VT that had been in on-and-off operation for 60 years. The owner passed away a few years ago and the books had been sitting in storage and on shelves. As I cleaned it out, I sorted the books by topic where they now sit in climate-controlled storage. Please expect some light foxing, shelf/storage wear, mild "old book smell, " small amount of writing inside, bits of dust/lint and other indications of use and age. I do vacuum and wipe down books and will investigate any obvious clues to potential condition issues within, but I do not examine every page thoroughly; given the quantity I obtained it would take decades if I went that far!Unless particularly valuable or interesting, I do not include books in lots that are significantly damaged and always indicate and better describe such exceptions. Additionally, I will usually note if a book is in particularly excellent condition. This item is in the category "Books & Magazines\Books".
