Radio Times from the eighties, which are printed offset (glossy paper rather than newsprint) are smaller in width and length than copies from the 1920s through to the early 80s (although, with a higher page count, heavier). As a result, they can be sent as Large Letters, rather than Small Parcels. So, to try to avoid confusion, they are listed differently to the others I'm selling, as having 'free postage'. However, if you want to include any glossy paper editions alongside earlier editions, I'll adjust the overall postage to offer the best deal possible. 

For overseas buyers, it may be worth considering International Economy (surface mail) rather than International Standard (Airmail). The package will take longer to arrive, but there's a big saving in cost!
