Heather, Call the serials dealer I use for duplicates-he comes and picks ours up and gives us a credit to use towards missing issues. Hans Kuperus Periodicals Contact: Gerd Schmidt 11254 Bradley Ave. Pacoima, CA 91331 818-890-1403 No guarantee that he'll come up to Santa Barbara, but he may know someone to refer you to.

( I'm currently tripping over American Heritage, Horizon and some museums' bulletins.) A solo librarian working 3 days a week, I don't have the time to offer them to all of you because it takes too much time to sort out the ones you'd like, wrap for mailing, and take them to the post office. So, I offer them to our Univ. of Cal. Santa Barbara, our public library, and the local city college. If they don't want them, I ask a couple of local dealers. If THEY don't want them, what shall I do??? Even the thrift store doesn't want them. I hate just throwing them out. What a waste. Is there anyone out there who has confronted this problem? Any ideas?
