Life Magazine.
Published c. 1921, New York by J.A. Mitchell.
c. 1200  pages. Text in English. Many issues bound without covers. Very difficult to collate or figure out what is within, but most (all?) issues appear to date 1921. We surmise perhaps 26-45 issues total??

Profusely illustrated throughout, countless thousands of line drawings, ads and illustrations of all sizes, themes and types. Abundant period advertising. A pleasing assortment of ads and art work throughout. Splendid era of contents, a visual feast for modern eyes.

Issues all neatly bound in 1/2 leather binding.

Book is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. 

Binding gently rubbed but still clean and tight, joints scuffed, front joint cracked but covers well attached, various edge tears and flaws throughout.

Text block paper is gently age toned as typical, internally book remains mostly clean, tight and sound. 

Still attractive on the shelf. Book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in rather nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detailed attempt to present this large heavy book as it survives. A nice run of issues which are individually scarce.

We often over-describe any flaws that many sellers would not even bother to mention since most people would overlook them as minor and unworthy of comment. Many people tell us the books they receive from us are nicer in person than it appears on the screen. We want you to be clear about what you are buying, so we take clear photos and try to describe it clearly.

Book Measures c. 11 1/4" H x 8 1/2" W.

A thick and very heavy volume.
