Cutting up old magazines

[P3D Michael DAbrosca <zephyr@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Jamie Drouin and Paul S. Boyer have responded to my post requesting info 
on old 3D magazine ads. They were dismayed that anyone would even 
consider cutting up old magazines to collect single sheets.

Yikes! I am truly sorry that I stated or even implied that I would 
destroy any publication. Yes, maybe some people would consider 
periodicals to be less precious than bound books. I, too, am disgusted by 
any actions that would defile a book, especially one that is for public 
use as in a library. And although old National Geographics are a 
dime-a-dozen (as verified by a lifetime of antique and junk-store 
browsing) those old 50s "Photography" magazines are quite rare, and I 
have yet to find any. Please rest assured that I WILL NOT cut up the 
magazine for one ad (are you kidding?? --those magazines are FULL of cool 
50s kitsch!), and the articles would be fascinating. Besides, I plan on 
scanning the ads for computer fun! 

I am not a book killer! 

Now that THAT is cleared up ... does anyone have any to sell or trade or 
loan?

Archivally yours,
