Here are some very old, and quite interesting bound copies of magazines from years gone by. I keep looking at them thinking what fantastic resources they would be for writers who want to capture the flavor of a time gone by. It appeals to the mystery reader in me to figure out how some of these "newsy in their own time" articles would give context to a story set in that period.
None of them are overly attractive, but they are all very cool. If you're interested in any of these, e-mail us.
