Hi everyone,

I've decided I don't need to keep my archive of Private Eye magazine any
more. I've got the following to give away to anyone who wants them
though it would be great if you could make a donation to help the people
in Japan in exchange. Collection from Southampton or Fareham by
arrangement. Please get in touch off-list.

The issues are in OK condition, though the cheap paper stock has
yellowed a bit over time. Although any obvious damage is noted, I
haven't checked every page of every issue so there may be other minor
flaws. Most of the issues are in official Private Eye binders.

Thanks,

Tony
