BUSES magazine for disposal

[Julia]

I need to reclaim my house from a large stack of paper... thought I would offer them before throwing away.

BUSES ILLUSTRATED January 1965.

CLASSIC BUS #3-4/6-9, 1993-4.

BUSES FOCUS #6, 1997

BUSES:
Jan 1984; Oct 1985; May 1987
Jan-June 1997;
Apr 1998;

Others may turn up as I carry on uncovering boxes... all the more modern Buses are free to a good home, I can try arrange to get them to you somehow or keep until after lockdown if you want a lot, or post specific issues if you want a small number to complete a set. Please PM me if you want any; they will make a one-way trip to the recycling centre at the end of June otherwise.

Please note my forum name! I'll also tell you that I was a bookseller for 30 years, and included transport books among my specialities. particularly transport books, and had a good relationship with Ian Allan books, the firm that also published Buses magazine. I have my own almost complete collection of Buses Illustrated/Buses from issue 1. In the end, I had to turn down free donations of Buses magazine, as I had to confine them to the council tip, being unable to get even 20p a copy from them. Like old Buses Annuals, they have no value, regrettably, although you might get the odd one sold, so long as you don't have to take postage into account! Like old copies of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' their value is in minus territory, frankly. If someone is prepared to take them off your hands without you incurring expense, bite their hands off!

I still believe that if the onetime magazine purchasers scanned them all in to an electronic format they would find a ready market. The music industry has found this works fine for old recordings.

Edited: a few more turned up, and removed prices.
