Covers very worn, chipped and chapped at edges, soiled, with some light pencil marks, creased especially on verso, with some old and failing Sellotape repairs to cracked spine, with minor loss at spine tips.

Pearson's Magazine was a monthly journal, published between 1896 and 1939, which focussed on speculative literature, the arts and political discussion, often with a socialist leaning.
