From Joseph Henry Jackson's review in the San Francisco Chronicle: ". A more serious kind of poetry is what interests the publisher of a new magazine of which Volume I, Number 1" is on my desk. (Who was it said that the saddest words in the language were "Volume I, Number 1"?). It's called Number and since it's editor, Don Wobber, seems to exercise exceptionally good judgment in his selections, perhaps this is one periodical that will prove the saying wrong. I particularly liked his brief preface to the new venture in which there was none of the arty jargon you find in so many "modern" little magazines.

Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. Volume 1, Number 1 Volume 1, Number 4. Four issues. Approximately 120pp. Ex-library with a stamp and bit of label residue inside the cover of each volume; No. 1 with an abrasion inside the cover and a tiny creased tear on the cover and first couple of leaves, No. 2 with a short tear on the final leaf, and No. 4 with the wrappers lightly foxed and worn, overall very good and sound. The first four issues of this San Francisco poetry magazine. No. 1 features an introduction by Activist poet Lawrence Hart and seems to focus on the work of younger poets, including several first publications (including the editor, Wobber's; he is described as being in the printing business). Brief bios are given for each poet. No. 2, the "Chinatown issue," features traditional Chinese songs translated and illustrated by "Nanying," as well as poems by Ken Pettit, Robert Barlow, Ethelford Carrol, Elva Williams, Don Wobber, and Betty Turnoy. No. 3 (misbound, with some pages upside-down or out of order) features poetry and a brief biography of poet, anthropologist, and friend of Lovecraft Robert Barlow (also known as R. H. Barlow), mentioning his recent suicide, and also featuring his translation of B. Ortiz de Montelanno's "The Sombreron: A Mexican Drama." No. 4 features poems by Betty Turnoy, Evelyn Belvin, Ted Wright, Kenneth Pettit, Don Wobber, Waltrina Furlong, Luis Monguio, and a selection of poems from the students of Mills College. The four issues of an interesting little poetry magazine; Numbers 1-8 were reprinted by AMS Press in 1970.
