[Stuart Feldhamer]

Frank,

 

This is great. Will the magazines be made available for viewing online?

 

Thanks,

 

Stuart

On that subject, I just put a group together to buy this really amazing
collection of U.S. console magazines to donate to the Library of Congress'
video game archive:

As someone who collects print material, I can tell you how near-impossible
it would be to replicate this set (after more than 10 years, even I don't
have some of these issues).

 

All of these are also at the Strong, this set will live at the LoC campus in
Culpeper, VA and my private collection will live somewhere on the west coast
when I find the right fit. I know people tend to get more excited over the
actual games, but as someone who actually studies game history actively,
these magazines are FAR more priceless, so I'm super stoked that these are
safe and in the right hands.

So, who's gonna contact this guy when the auction fails?

Henry? I don't think the MADE has room for all of this anyway.
