THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 1, 1942

* Battle of Alam el Halfa begins
* Field Marshal Erwin Rommel

The front page has a six column headline: "ROMMEL LAUNCHES NEW ATTACK IN EGYPT" with subheads that include: "Desert Battle On" and more with map. (see) First report coverage on beginning of the Battle of Alam el Halfa near El Alamein, Egypt. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day with much more on World War II. Complete in 40 pages, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
