Just stumbled upon this a couple weeks ago. Can't even track down the site I found it on, unfortunatly. Haven't been able to find much more info on it other than a Facebook post selling a copy.
In the dark days of the Depression, one of the beacons of light was Man!: A Journal of the Anarchist Ideal and Movement. It was the most celebrated anarchist publication at that time.

Yet not so blinded that we missed the rapture in his eye
The very gentle anarchist who never killed a fly."
