Last year I saw one of these actual magazines in the wild, for sale at $1100. My issues were purchased at a long gone, used magazine shop tucked away in a basement behind the Port Authority back in the 1980’s. I feel they are way too beautiful and important to not to make available to others. So I have had them professionally scanned and have lightly cleaned them up. These were marked up and really used in some Garment Center Design room back in the day!
