I've got a nearly complete set of Maplin "Electronics: The Maplin Magazine" magazines - I'm after the following issues if anyone's got spares: Sep-Nov 1982 (iss #4) Mar-May 1983 (iss #6) Dec83-Feb84 (iss #9) Mar-May 1984 (iss #10) Jun-Aug 1984 (iss #11) Dec84-Feb85 (iss #13) through Dec85-Feb86 (iss #17) Sep-Nov 1986 (iss #20?) February 1996 July 1996 August 1996 September 1996 October 1996 March 1999 September 1999 October 1999 November 1999 Jan-Aug 2000 October 2000 December 2000 I'd love to get copies of these magazines, but I haven't seen any for a while. IIRC some of the early issues (1-30 IIRC) were re-issued as "Maplin Project Books" (not the "Best of Maplin Projects" books; the original Project Books). These were (I'm told) basically reprints of the magazines, only without the adverts and editorial content. I'd really like to finish my collection up to 1997 if possible - the 1999/2000 issues were right in the middle of the "low quality zone" just before Kanda bought the rights to the magazine from Maplin. Probably worth noting that the name changed from "Electronics: The Maplin Magazine" to "Electronics And Beyond" some time in the 1998-1999 timeframe. IIRC... I'm not that good with dates :) Later. -- Phil. | Acorn Risc PC600 Mk3, SA202, 64MB, 6GB, philpem at philpem.me.uk | ViewFinder, 10BaseT Ethernet, 2-slice, http://www.philpem.me.uk/ | 48xCD, ARCINv6c IDE, SCSI ...
