Description: SET OF SIX (6) HARDCOVER (CARDBOARD FRONT AND BACK, EMBOSSED SUEDE SPINES) VOLUMES OF "THE PHILISTINE: A PERIODICAL OF PROTEST" [VOLUMES 5-10]J. PUBLISHED BI-YEARLY, "THE PHILISTINE" BOOKS WERE A COLLECTION OF WRITINGS, MUSINGS, POEMS, THEORIES, PROFOUND NOTIONS, ADVERTISEMENTS, DECLARATIONS, AND RANDOM PROVOCATIONS OF THOUGHT; EACH ONE AN ECLECTIC HODGEPODGE OF EVERYTHING FREE-THINKERS OF THEIR DAY AND TIME HAD TO OFFER. ALSO KNOWN IS "THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF IMMORTALS", THE PHILISTINE SOCIETY WAS CREATED BY THOSE WHO DARED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX, WHO BROKE FROM SOCIETAL NORMS UNAPOLOGETICALLY, UNFLINCHINGLY, OUT LOUD, AND WITHOUT HESITATION.THE ISSUES CONTAINED WITHIN ARE FROM JUNE 1897 - DECEMBER 1899 , FOR A TOTAL OF 31 ISSUES (I BELIEVE). THESE EARLY VOLUMES ARE RARELY SEEN INDIVIDUALLY, AND SETS SUCH AS THESE ARE NEAR OBSCURITY. THEY ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD CONDITION, GIVEN THEIR AGE. THEY BEAR EVETRY BIT OF WEAR AND CHARACTER I'M CERTAIN THE PHILISTINE SOCIETY COULD HOPE FOR (VARIOUS SPOTS ON COVERS OF A FEW - SLIGHT DAMAGE CAUSED BY LIQUID OF SOME KIND..... I LIKE TO THINK THE READER LIKELY SPILLED HIS / HER COCKTAIL REACTING TO SOMETHING THEY'D JUST READ.......)WILL CAREFULLY PACKAGE AND SHIP WITHIN THE U.S. ONLY. CAN PROVIDE A TRACKING NUMBER IF REQUESTED IN ADVANCE (WILL COST A BIT EXTRA, WILL CONFIRM COST WITH YOU BEFORE SHIPPING)
