[Karmbooks at aol.com]

Burton, William E. and Edgar Allan Poe (eds.). THE GENTLEMAN’S MAGAZINE [AND 
MONTHLY AMERICAN REVIEW]. Philadelphia: Published by Charles Alexander et al. 
1837-1840. 7 vols. A complete file under this title. Illustrated with 24 (of 
26) plates (as detailed in Heartmann & Carny’s BIBLIOGRAPHY OF POE). Added 
engraved title in Vol. I. Uniformly bound in gilt decorated speckled calf (spine 
of Vol. VII somewhat brighter). Vols, I, II, III, & V have been rebacked with 
the original spines laid down. Vols. IV, VI, & VII with minor chips & defects 
at extremities. Hinges of Vol. VI cracked but holding. Bookplate on front 
pastedown of Vol. I. One leaf in Vol. VI defective, with about 20% torn away.     
$1,000.00 (trade discount allowed)
The plates include some early mezzotints by J. Sartain. Early American 
journals are quite problematic with plate counts. Volume V contains Poe’s “The Fall 
of the House of Usher", and is very nice.
