[Ralph]

I have an ALMOST complete collection of Descents from issue 12 to the present. For full details contact me on RJohnCave at AOL dot com. Offers welcome . All income to DCRO. Coming to the DCRO 60th they could be delivered free!!

could I ask how much space this collection takes up?

I'm tempted to make an offer but dont want to incur the wrath of my good lady if they take over the spare bedroom....

Based on my own collection (which isn't here, so this isn't a millimetre-perfect estimate) if they are in Descent binders, it'll take about 1.5 m of shelf-space.

It amounts to around 16 Descent folders on the shelf;looks very smart in  the Red with Gold titling.

It's needs to be a really good offer. This chap is a top guy and he probably doesn't even know who I am. I have massive respect for him.

I will give you ?10 for the lot.

Don't be so mean he could save more than that in heating if he burnt them

Chris howes wants ?5.95 each for back copies at 50p a copy would make them worth at least ?100 it does however suggest there are some missing copies so not a full set and a shame 1 - 12 are not there as it would be worth a considerable amount. I reckon 25 pople ask me about those volumes at HE

Some of the issues in the twenties are rather hard to find - maybe many copies of with the phots of the 'Miss Descent' contenders and winners got cut up... No.40 (the first A4 size issue) is definately very hard to find. The last 150 or so issues are mostly readily available but there will be a few odd ones that are a little hard to find. So some issues you have will be more valuable than others.

23.5 inches for all isues plus indexes when stored in plastic magazine holders. Wonderful resource even if the first dozen are not present.

I've now got these after selling some at the DCRO do, and will be selling them for Ralph.  I know, I am extremely nice.  I've just gone through them all as I didn't make a note of what ones we sold, and these are the issues we've got:

20
23-29
32-34
36-37
42-48
50-59
61-82
84-181
183 to present (227)

Issues 20 - 139 have been hole punched, but don't worry, you can still see all the good bits of Miss Descent.  How about a price of ?2 each for the old issues (pre 163/Jan 2002) and ?1.50 for 163 to present, or some sort of offer in that region.  There are some fruity Aquaquipment ads on the backs of the early ones that'd be worth ?2 on their own.

Any offers, please contact either me (clare.harley [at] hotmail.co.uk)  or Ralph.

Thanks!
Clare

They'd make a lovely Christmas present....... go on.... you know you want to....
