Item description from seller

First impression of the true first edition, published in Nov 1943. Some contributions were specially written for this issue of Penguin New Writing - others are the first publication in the UK, including Roy Fuller, Laurie Lee, Norman Nicholson, Henry Reed and Rex Warner. With eight pages of photogravure illustrations in the centre of the book, including some author portraits. These wartime issues are the most fragile --- please note, this copy has a half torn-out half-title page (please see scans). ***A very good copy in silver-grey thin card covers. The covers are clean, with just light rubbing and creasing commensurate with age and handling - with some rubbing and surface loss to the edges of the spine, and very slight loss to the fragile spine covering. No bumps or creases. No stains. Internally very good with no previous ownership inscriptions and no internal foxing - but as mentioned - the half-title page has been partially torn out! No other obvious creases or tears. Inside covers slightly browned. Paper stock tanned as usual. ***160mm x110mm. 176 pages. Contents: REPORT ON TO-DAY †THE WITNESSES by William Sansom *THE WORM'S-EYE VIEW by John Sommerfield *LETTER FROM THE DISTANT NORTH by Sid Chaplin †FEAR OF DEATH by F. J. Salfeld †THREE POEMS FROM AFRICA by Roy Fuller †THAT SUMMER - I by Frank Sargeson †THE WALL by Henry Reed SO THEY KEPT HIM ON THE SQUARE by Bruce Richardson *THE EDUCATION OF JOSEPH by Joseph Gurnard †THREE POEMS by Norman Nicholson †EPILOGUE by Greville Texidor TWO POEMS by Stephen Spender NIGHT IN CASTELLEJAby Laurie Lee †TWO POEMS by Peter Yates *ENGLISH BALLET FINDS A PATRON by Dance Critic BOOK FRONT *THE USES OF ALLEGORY by Rex Warner SOME BOOKS FROM NEW ZEALAND by William Plomer *A READER'S NOTEBOOK - V by Jack Marlowe POETRY SUPPLEMENT: Helen Spalding, Alun Lewis, Walter Andrewes, Alex. Comfort, Alan Ross, Anne Ridler, Christopher Lee, Theresa Ashton, John Atkins PHOTOGRAVURE ILLUSTRATIONS * Specially written for this issue of Penguin New Writing † First publication in Great Britain. New Writing was a popular literary periodical in book format founded in 1936 by John Lehmann and committed to anti-fascism. During the Second World War, in 1940, with New Writing's future uncertain, John Lehmann wrote New Writing in Europe which was published by Penguin Books, a critical summary of the writers of the 1930s. ***Allen Lane of Penguin Books managed to secure paper for a new series which became Penguin New Writing, a monthly book-magazine, this time produced as a paperback. Penguin New Writing ran to 40 issues in total, surviving until 1950. ***First impression of the true first edition of John Lehmann's Penguin New Writing Issue 17, published in 1943. A very good copy, albeit with the aforementioned torn page - of interest to collectors of collectable Penguin paperbacks. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
