Chris Harte has just published another of his comprehensive histories/bibliographies of a magazine. This time it is the UK magazine Men Only, which ran for 329 issues from 1935 to 1963.
Contributors include Michael Arlen, Hilaire Belloc, Ambrose Bierce, John Buchan, Karel Capek, Arthur C. Clarke, Rupert Croft-Cooke, Lord Dunsany, Negley Farson (Bram Stoker's nephew), Ronald Fraser, David Garnett, Louis Golding, James Hilton, Laurence Housman, Alan Hyder, Edgar Jepson, Gerald Kersh, Eric Linklater, Percy Lubbock, Andre Maurois, A. A. Milne, Christopher Morley, Eimar O'Duffy, J.B. Priestley, Maurice Richardson, Rafael Sabatini, L.A.G. Strong, H.G. Wells, Charles Williams, Oscar Wilde, P.G, Wodehouse, Philip Wylie, and many others, famous or otherwise. (My list here is skewed towards authors that readers of Wormwoodiana might be interested in.)
Of course a major item of interest is the long history of the magazine, which takes up twenty-some pages. Men Only Magazine 1935-1963: A History and Bibliography (Sports History Publishing, 2026), by Chris Harte, should be appearing shortly in the usual venues for ordering book. The ISBN is: 9781898010234. Here is the cover:
