Issues 1, 2, 3 and 6 have now sold out, but we still have copies of all the remaining issues. A brief synopsis of what each of these issues contains is included elsewhere. Given that the first three issues are out of print, and as a taster for our remaining issues, we have provided access to most of the articles included in those issues on this web site. Not all the photographs have been reproduced and occasionally we make reference in the text to things in the photographs which are clearly not visible via this means of access. Our apologies for this. The photographs come out much better in their original format. Anyway we trust you will still find the articles a good read.
If you would like to purchase any back issues we can offer a postal service. Our charge for this is the cover price (see below) plus the cost of postage and packing.,
To calculate the cost, add up the price of the magazines you require and then add the appropriate charge for postage and packing as shown in the chart below.
Make out the cheque to S Zaleski (sterling only) and send it to the address shown above
