FREE WoodenBoat Magazines: 1974-2019

[Brian S]

***** The complete collection has been picked up today (July 12). Thanks to all who showed interest or appreciated the value of preserving this collection *********************


THE WHEN
I began my subscription to WB in November 1976. I want to give friends of WoodenBoat first chance to obtain this collection before I offer it elsewhere.

THE WHAT

• Issue No. 1 (Sept/Oct 1974) through Issue no. 271 (Nov/Dec 2019). NO missing issues. In addition 3 WB index booklets will be included.
• 271 issues (45 years): 90% in very good to excellent condition; minor water stains on about 10-15 issues; no mildew.
• The first 96 issues (16 years) are stored in sixteen “WoodenBoat binders”; remaining issues are loose
• I believe some early issues might be publisher reprints produced following the WoodenBoat fire (March 22, 1977) that destroyed some original back issues

TERMS

• You must agree to accept delivery of ALL 271 issues.
• In addition, you must send a check for shipping charges OR arrange for pickup in the Boston area within 2 weeks of the offer to accept. (Shipping charges will be calculated based on the ship-to address. If the two weeks expires without a check for shipping or a completed pickup, the magazines will be offered for free to the next interested party
• I estimate the total weight of the magazines and binders at approximately 200 lbs.

Hi Brian- I would love them. Especially as you seem so organized. I am nearby and can pick them up anytime it is convenient for you. ( I prefer a rainy day or weekend to avoid Boston traffic.) You should be able to PM me. Many thanks. BW
