I have various Linux magazines going back over several years that are taking up space.
I'm tempted to keep them as an interesting archive of how things have progressed, but I'm also thinking of letting some/all go to recover some room on the bookshelf.
Is there any interest here if I decide to let them go?
If there's interest I can get some kind of list together, but over the years I've tended to subscribe to most Linux magazines (although not necessarily kept them all). It's unlikely I've still got many cover CD/DVDs.

Hi, I'd be interested in some, but probably not all. I have a collection of old magazines but with some gaps here and there. It would be nice to fill some of those in if possible. I also have some duplicates so happy to give those away. Would it be easier if I told you want I was interested in or are you planning to make a list anyway?
Cheers,

I know the problem, I have computer magazines going back to 1981 that I'm loathed to get rid of. Various multi format, Sinclair, Amstrad and Commodore publications, along with Linux ones, including the Linux Answers one that preceeded Linux Format. I'm still slightly annoyed that I decided to get rid of a pristine set of Input magazines many years ago. When I retire (if I ever manage that) I may get time to catalogue them or something, at the moment I know I have lots of nostalgic reading / info, but no idea what is where. That said, they will probably just sit there doing nothing, much like my old 8 bit computers.
I loved my Input magazines too. Had the whole set in binders! Fear not, the Internet loves us:

Yes, I have a number of old magazine sites bookmarked (if I can ever find anything in the mass of bookmarks I have!). That link had me going for a minute with the publication date of 1997, not sure if that is a mistake or it was reissued. My copies were around 1984/5 iirc.
