Lot 181
Road and Track: 1947 to 1976. A rare and excellent run of 26 hardbound quarto volumes of this quarto-size American magazine. The first volume is the limited edition of reprints of the first 15 issues, from June 1947 to October 1950, bound in navy-blue buckram with silver lettering. After making its debut in June 1947, the next issue was not published until May 1948. It was not until 1950 that some semblance of regularity entered into Road and Track's publishing schedule. The present run's second volume, bound in maroon cloth with gilt lettering, holds the issues from July/August 1950 to July 1951 (Vol. 2 No.12). The five monthly issues from August to December 1951 (Vol. 3 Nos. 1 to 5) are loose in a clear plastic sleeve. The remaining 24 volumes, uniformly bound in light brown cloth with gilt lettering to the spines, hold the issues from Vol. 3 No. 6, January 1952, to Vol. 28 No. 4, December 1976. All are in clean and sound condition, with their covers and advertisements. (28)
