Staples rusty, occasional fox spots, else, clean and tidy. A tidy copy of this short-lived literary magazine.

Featuring the first appearance of H.D.'s poem, 'The Magician'. Published by Charles and Esther Lahr, owners of The Progressive Bookshop at 68-69 Red Lion Street, London. The Lahrs also published The New Coterie Magazine and Bryher's Cinema Survey (see our copy of the alternative edition, ref. 2460). Indeed, according to the insert for the next issue of Seed was meant to feature contributions by Davies, alongside Bryher and Kay Boyle.
