Original Wraps. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket, as Issued. First Edition. First and only printing of the true first edition of the third Granta (New Series) - complete with the John Blanche illustration with OUP advert on the reverse inserted at page 108 - the illustration repeated on the front cover. A very rare first edition of the third issue of the reborn Granta, champion of new writing, which grew to be one of the best known, most widely read and longest enduring of modern day literary magazines. Includes two chapters from Salman Rushdie's "Midnight's Children" (the only pre-publication of any part of that book). ***Very good in mustard-yellow black printed thin card covers, with the matt surface very slightly rubbed and discoloured. Slight off-setting from a price label which appears to have been removed from the front cover. Edges of covers slightly rubbed. No serious creases or tears. Light reading creases to the spine. Spine slightly rolled from reading but spine tight. Internally also very good with no inscriptions or annotations. Pages clean. Top corners of last few pages very slightly creased, otherwise no creases or tears. ***216 pages including notes on contributors at the back of the magazine. 210mm x 146mm. ******Contents: Salman Rushdie: Midnight's Children (first part); Angela Carter: Cousins; Desmond Hogan: Southern Birds; Alan Sillitoe: A Scream of Toys; Emma Tennant: Alice fell; Russell Hoban: Riddley Walker; J.K. Klavans: God, He Was Good. ***With a section titled "A Symposium on the British Novel, with contributions by: Lorna Sage, Chris Bigsby, Frederick Bowers, James Gindin and Christine Brooke-Rose. ***The first and only printing of Granta 3 (New Series) containing the two chapters "The Perforated Sheet" (p. 17-32) and "Mercurochrome" (p. 32-46) which are the earliest publication of parts of Salman Rushdie's novel "Midnight's Children" to appear in any form, along with Russell Hoban's "Riddley Walker". Copies of the first three issues of Granta are very hard to come by now, especially in collectable condition. Grantas 1,2 and 3 are now almost always seen only as reprints with a new cover, with a design which became the Granta house style for all issues subsequent to this one. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. John Blanche (Cover design and inserted page) (ilustrador).…
