MMRS magazine stock

We have a large quantity of magazines which are surplus to our Library's requirements. Previously we have sold these only at our annual Exhibition, but have now decided to offer them via these pages.

We try to keep the lists below up to date, but there may be copies which have been sold or which are not yet listed. If there is something which you particularly require then let us know and and we will have a search.

Our usual prices are 40p for one, £1 for three, £3 for 12, with some exceptions which are listed below.

If you are not able to collect the magazines (from South Manchester) then the cost of postage needs to be added. To give you some idea of postage charges within the UK, a single magazine pre-1950, when they were relatively small, will cost about 60p each, £2 for a whole year or £4.50 for 3 years. Recent magazines are much heavier and postage will cost about £1 each, £7 for a year, £12 for 2 years or £15 for 4 years.
