Description:
Los Angeles: End Poverty LEague, 1934. First Edition. Softcover. Good Condition. A long only occasionally broken run of Sinclair's influential EPIC newspaper, launched in 1934. Around 190 issues, a few duplicates, a few early issued folded, most unfolded and apparently unissued. All a bit dry and fragile, generally complete and intact but with chipping at the edges. Lacking issue 2, but mostly complete otherwise including lettered issues (A-G in Volume 1). In four large binders. A fascinating and uncommonly broad look at Sinclair's newspaper launched around his campaign for California governor in 1934. His influence on both FDR's new deal and on 20th century liberalism was immense despite his loss in the governor's race.
