What the vendor says are complete runs of the 1957 and 1958 issues of One magazine have been listed on EBay at $69.99 each. Individual issues often sell for $10-$20 or more, so this is actually a deal – if you don’t mind the library bindings.
One magazine was launched in Los Angeles in 1953 and declared obscene by the U.S. Postal Service. resulting in a landmark 1st Amendment ruling.
That’s amazing–I would think they;d be in a museum or a collection. I hope someone digitizes them online, I would love to read them!

I have never been to the ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives in Los Angeles, but I’m under the impression that it has a complete run. I’m not aware of them being digitized, however.
