What to do with old issues? I have a few old Eyes and IDs but I don't know if ebay is a good place to sell them. Does anyone know if there is some kind of online place where people look for these things?

Actually, if there's anyone on here (that I know) who wants them, lemme know, you can have them.

I had almost every copy of Creative Review from about 1985 to about 1996 when I stopped buying it in disgust at something they did. My disgust prompted me to get rid of my back issues too. I took them all in a Transit van to an Oxfam charity bookshop. This was a while ago but they were really pleased to take them off me. Thing is though, within three months I was kicking myself for doing that. They were a massive pain in the arse to relocate each time I moved anywhere, but what an archive of creative history!

I'm not a big fan of Creative Review.

I go through and chop out the bits I like and stick 'em in a folder.
Which I then ignore for three years.

I have a strange Eye Magazine related story. When I first moved to London I worked freelance at a small studio in Soho. I got to work on a load of really nice things and the studio had a double-double page feature in Eye displaying mostly pieces of my work and almost all of it got fairly credited to me too (which made a change, getting fair credit for my work was like squeezing piss from a dead man's teeth). I never kept a copy of the magazine though.
Jump forward 10 years and I'm walking around Lewes with my missus and somehow got on to rambling about the past as I do and I found myself saying how I regretted not having a copy of this particular issue of Eye Magazine for nostalgic reasons. Moments after I said it I swear to god, honestly, we walked past one of Lewes' many secondhand bookstores and I glanced in the window... and there it was. Cost me eight fucking quid. Fuckers. It was pristine though.
I just pulle dit off my bookshelf. Issue number 20, Vol5, Spring1996 for anyone who wishes to view some vintage Studiospooky pre-illustration design work. Its pretty shit though, so I wouldn't fall off your chair to pull it out of cryonic suspension.
