Description: This sale is for 4 issues of The American Magazine:March, April, May 1930 and July 1934. The April, 1930 issue has some stunning pix of riveters working high in Manhattan sky scrapers including the Chrysler building. This magazine must have had a LOYAL following to survive the depression. American Magazine is an entertainment magazine featuring a mix of fiction and non-fiction short stories. The stories are all well-written and many are of interest even today. Each issue seems to feature a top-10 list of some sort. Authors include names like Max Brand, David Garth and H. G. Wells. Several regular columns that were popular enough to survive from 1925 through 1937 (pure pulp writing) include "The House Detective", "It Takes All Kinds", and "Interesting People". Altogether, American Magazine features the kind of distracting material that must have had high reading value during the depression years. If you want to know what kinds of stories, fiction and non-, made people happy during bad times, I suggest reading vintage American Magazine. Each issue is well over 150 pages--buyers of this magazine really got their 25 cents worth! No reserve. FREE media mail. 126
