Newby to the forum.
From time to time, I am looking for back issues of T&FN. I prefer the hard copy as opposed to digital. I can't seem to find a link any longer to a complete listing of T&FN and who appeared on its cover. For example, currently on the website, it displays covers going back to approximately November of 2011. Just curious as to whether anyone has a link to other back issues and their respective covers or whether anyone has a personal listing of any individual back issues for sale. After searching on this forum, I have only found larger collections for sale as opposed to individual issues.

02-01-2019 10:18 PMHave been away from this site for some time. I have a comprehensive collection of TFN, which I would like to dispose of. Starts back in 1966 or so and is fairly complete through at least 2000. Earlier editions are in bound volumes with 12-18 issues each, with notations/underling on some pages . From about 1980 onwards, issues are individual ones and fairly comprehensive. I am downsizing prior to moving and would appreciate help in giving my collection a good home. If interested, please post here, with details of what you are interested in, and we will take it from there.

02-24-2019 06:37 PMGood luck. If you find the right buyer, you can make some good money.
The irony is that hundreds (thousands?) of old issues sit in attics, or storage units, or **gasp** dumpsters, unappreciated by heirs. The chance of finding a bound set of . . . say . . . the entire 50s at a garage sale for $50 . . . are infinitesimal, yet some people would pay over $1000 for that.
I only have 4 things left on my wish-list: HS Annuals from 57, 59, 62 & 64. I may never find them and would pay well, but they sit in someone's house, probably completely unknown.

02-25-2019 03:51 PMAgree with what you say. But I am not out to make money, just get them out to someone with some interest, rather than putting them in the trash. Surprisingly, they are moving quite rapidly now.
I collected the magazines first in NA, took them to Asia, collected more in Australia, moved them to Asia and then NA. Getting them out has been a bit of a wrench. But nothing compared with getting rid of my "profession papers", I trashed some 20% at my office room yesterday. Goes back to about 1965, and brought tears to my eyes.
Good luck with your search.
