Title: The Nation: October 18, 1952
Description: New York, The Nation, 1952. Paperback. 4to. Wrappers. Pp. 340-369. Cartoons, advertisements. Very good. Usual age toning, but quite mild, mainly about the edges. Exceptionally clean and attractive copy of this famed weekly, with headline screaming, "What You Lose if Eisenhower Wins: A Factual Record of What the Captive Candidate of Big Business, Taft, and the Old Guard Would Take Away from the Majority of the American People." Interesting copy, having come from the collection of Ralph G. Newman (1912-98), founder of Chicago's noted Abraham Lincoln Book Shop -- and long-time friend of Stevenson. Front wrapper is purple inkstamped "Marked Copy," which in turn refers to a purple inkstamped pointing finger next to the editorial "The Stake in Stevenson's Victory" on page 341. Given the acidic low quality stock on which "The Nation" was published, this copy is about as good as it gets, lacking the countless edge chips that usually border every issue. .
