Color: Black; Green "Reader's Digest," Vol. 8, No. 88 (August 1929), published by The Reader's Digest Association, Inc. The item has a green cover with the title at the top, a list of articles at the center, the number at the bottom, below which is the month and year and issue and subscription prices. All of these are within a border with classic columns, figures reading and other designs reminiscent of Greek or Roman classicism. The 95-page publication has thirty-three condensed articles on American politics, television, air travel, business and Wall Street, sports, foreign countries, women, the Hoover Administration, women and beauty, and others from such publications as Atlantic Monthly, Scribner's, the New Republic, National Geographic, the Nation, Popular Science, Vanity Fair, Collier's, ladies' Home Journal, Harper's, Saturday Evening Post, Forbes, and others. Short biographical statements of authors are on the inside back cover. With acid burns on the cover, light cover creases, cover soiling, page and cover yellowing, some signs of foxing on pages, cover stains, fingerprints on pages, staple tarnish, and small cover tears, the overall condition is good.
