All issues in stapled wrappers, except for the three perfectbound titles listed; some very minor edge-sunning or rubbing to some of the issues; the lot is easily near fine or better. These came from the library of a writer who was also a small press publisher -- and probably exchanged publications with Randall -- as well as a professor of African and African-American literature.
