Two weeks ago I won these old New Yorker magazines in an auction on ebay:

Aside from having what I think are some pretty cool covers, what I love about them is that they contain the first print of Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood", one of my favourite books (and films) of all time.
My question to you all is: If you were going to frame these babies, how would you do it? Would you remove the covers and keep the internals stored elsewhere? 2x2 layout or 1 x 4 layout? Do I need to vacuum seal the frame? These are the sorts of things I want to know from you knowledgeable people.
All suggestions are welcome whether they're reasonable, or humorous :)

layer some pasteboard (or similar black board) with a few inches bordering the size of the mag. layer them the same depth as the mags and then cutout the mag shape from the board. this will give you an inset frame that will house the mag. frame the whole mag. this way it's protected and usable for any future plans you may have. you could still remove the back of the frame and gain access to the whole mag. i hope that makes sense in it's delivery?

Ooo, I just found this place... is this sort of what you meant by cutouts?
That looks alright as a frame I reckon, i'm still trying to decide whether perhaps individual frames might look cooler...
Good advice airey, tankyourberymunchies :)
