Item description from seller

Vol. 1, Nos. 1-3 (three issues). Published and edited by Richard Branson. Quartos. Each 54pp. Heavily illustrated. Light wear on the wrappers, with some foxing on the front cover of the first issue, very good or better overall. The first three issues of *Student*, a publication started by a 16 year old Richard Branson, which aimed to provide students with a more well-rounded view of their world and of their future. "The fierce debates on education, surely involving the student more than anyone, are almost never thrown open to him. We plan to be a vehicle for intelligent comment and protest" (from Number 1). The publication, despite being started by such a young man, features some of the most prominent artists and thinkers of the era, delivering hard-hitting, controversial content in a mature, well styled manner. Notable articles and features include an interview between a young Richard Branson and American writer James Baldwin, discussing racism in America, "Ain’t White People Just Naturally Smarter, Prettier, Better?" by Alice Walker, and a short story titled *Passage for Translation* by John le Carre. For a deeper break down of the contents, see below. The inaugural issue includes a short story titled *Passage for Translation*, by author John le Carre, an article about the state of British art, with excerpts by Gerald Scarfe, Kenneth Armitage, Henry Moore, David Hockney, Michael Ayrton, and Peter Blake; an article promoting teenage use of contraceptives, followed by one encouraging chastity outside of marriage; a centerfold black and white re-creation of *PROVOS* by Ralph Steadman; an article titled "White Slavery Today", by Colonel Patrick Montgomery of the Anti-Slavery Society, about the state of human trafficking; and more. Number 2 includes an article about suicide and mental health by Alan Munton; an article by journalist James Cameron, with sections covering Vietnam, America, China, Britain, India, and a short advice column written to protest-happy students; articles titled "Pro-America" and "Anti-America", the latter written by Bertrand Russell; Other topics include marriage, contraception, abortion, poetry, fashion, and more. Number 3 includes the "never printed in full before", now infamous "Rivers of Blood" speech by Enoch Powell, regarding race and immigration in England, the article accompanied by a Ralph Steadman illustration titled "Transition"; an interview between a young Richard Branson and American writer James Baldwin, discussing racism in America; an article titled "Ain’t White People Just Naturally Smarter, Prettier, Better?" by Alice Walker, who later became the first African-American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction; an article by Jean-Paul Sartre recounting his time spent with Fidel Castro; "Paris In The Spring", by Stephen Spender, about the civil unrest of 1968; other topics include Vietnam, fashion, education, and more. Issues appear to be extremely uncommon, with *OCLC* locating 11 serial entries (likely all incomplete), with only four U.S. holdings (Harvard, Yale, Emory, Michigan State).
