19416339Transcona Mb: Wm. H. Gander 1941. Very good. Three issues. 16mo. Lightly toned minor wear. The first three issues of this amateur periodical. This charming work has a very meta vibe with at least these first three issues being a newspaper about other newspapers and journals. The first issue focuses on The Boys' Friend while the other two concern "The Magnet Library" "The Empire Library" the "Thri'penny Libraries" and some former boys' writers. The topic must have been of significant interest to William Gander as the periodical which was "printed and issued occasionally" ran until 1965. Wm. H. Gander unknown
