1924005766Firenze: Casa Editrice G. Nerbini 1924. First edition. Wraps. Very Good. The complete run comprised of 21 installments or fascicoli of an extremely scarce Italian pulp magazine that anthologized supernatural fiction. 4to. 29.5 by 19 cm. No copies on OCLC nor in other catalogues we checked Bibliotheca Italiana etc. The magazine although produced on the cheapest of pulp paper which ages terribly did have striking cover artwork for each of its installments. The stories presented are all translations of works in English or French with the original authors never credited. There is one story per installment and the stories have titles such as "La Valanga Vendicatrice" "La Pietra Fatale" "Il Salto della Morte" "Il Telefono Misterioso" and "La Mummia senza Pollice". Casa Nerbini founded in 1897 was until 1943 a major Italian publisher of fumetti or Italian comic books. After Nerbini folded Mondadori published some of its more popular titles. Condition: the pages are heavily age toned the paper brittle and there have some some discrete archival repairs made on the cover pages. Soiling to the front cover. We would nonetheless grade the volume as being in very good condition as the issues are ones that were inevitable given the paper stock used. <br/><br/> Casa Editrice G. Nerbini paperback books
