Old Magazines,
Second Edition, will delight both collectors and dealers.
Author Richard E. Clear has 30 years of experience dealing in
periodicals, and wrote his first book on magazines in 1974. Magazines
from many different areas are included: movie, trade, fashion,
farm, sports, and more, and over 300 new color photos have been
added to this edition, representing the thousands of magazines
available. The book focuses on the more common, easily recognized
and attainable copies rather than rare issues. Each listing includes
information such as title, size, volume, publisher, dates published,
all known names of the magazine, and a realistic market value.
Because old magazines often span large periods and appear in literally
thousands of issues, Clear gives criteria for spotting the more
valuable issues. Included in this new edition is a list of illustrators
with information about where to find their work, a suggested grading
guide, a list of paper dolls by name and where they can be found,
and a ten-page section on advertisements.
