Description: 22 trade paperback format magazines issues published between 1988 and 2002 The run is missing quite a few issues, this magazine was published four times a year during all these years so a full run would have quite a few more than 22 issues. Please note that these are quality productions, using high quality paper and covers. As a result they are quite heavy in bulk, these weigh about 12 pounds before packaging. The best way to ship these as they cannot be shipped by media mail (cannot be used for magazines) will be by either USPS ground or FedEx ground service.
