How Do I Place an Order?

· This website is updated daily – items listed should be available for purchase. We currently list over 1,000,000 magazines on this website – and growing daily! To the best of our knowledge our magazines are complete with all pages, unless noted otherwise. All available inventory is listed online – WE DO NOT carry additional magazines not listed, with the exception of National Geographic and Life magazines. Most post-1950 popular US magazines have mailing labels on the bottom of the covers. We offer a full refund on any item that does not match its described condition! Want lists for specific issues are filed by email – so please feel free to email your wants!

· WE ARE NOT PURCHASING magazines from afar – we are well supplied locally with mountains of magazines needing sorting & listing. Please do not email or call with such requests! ALSO – WE CANNOT appraise the value of your magazines!

· When multiple issues are listed (i.e. - “3 copies”) – the price is per issue, not for all issues available. If a specific quantity of issues available is not noted with the listing, there is one copy available. Issues marked “Not Available” are currently out of stock.

· ARTICLE SEARCH REQUESTS – Please use the Search function on the top of our homepage – we list major articles for most popular US magazines. First words listed are a brief description of the cover subject/image. Also, we have indexes available for Life (1936-1969), Time (1932-1969), Fortune (1930-1945), Sports Illustrated (1954-1969, New Yorker (1925-2004) and National Geographic (1888-1988). WE ALSO NOW HAVE a nearly complete run of “Readers Guide to Periodical Literature”, indexing subjects and authors published in most major American Magazines from 1900 to 2005 – research requests will need as much information as possible. A per-hour fee may be charged up front  depending on the complexity of the request & the time needed. WE CANNOT locate specific homes in home & garden magazines, recipes in women’s magazines, advertisements, or craft patterns – Sorry!

RESEARCH REQUESTS ACCEPTED VIA EMAIL ONLY!
