[sdiy] Are you a magazine junky?

[Mike Gorman]

I think you can safely say that of me, as I currently have over 11,000 magazines in my collection and a current wish list of about 1,500. I am often found raiding eBay to fill a gap in my collection, for example, I picked up over 300 magazines a couple of weeks ago that filled a hole in my Television magazine collection.

At present I am missing 3 issues of Circuit Cellar for a complete collection, but I do have complete collections of Electronics Today International, Practical Electronics, Elektor, 60+ years of Wireless World, Byte, Electronics & Music Maker, The Mix, Sound on Sound, PC-Pro......

My collection covers some 215 magazine titles covering Electronics, Computers, Music, Hi-Fi, Cars, Woodwork and anything else that has caught my interest since 1974 - when I was given my first copies of Practical Electronics.

My Long term goal is to build a website to make my collection a bit more public, so I have periodic stints scanning front covers and contents pages to move towards this goal. Ideally, I would like to make some of the articles available as well, but copyright is a major obstacle to this at present. I have had some conversations with some if the copyright holders already, so some if this may actually be possible soon.

Regards

Mike
