The magazine stopped being useful to me as a reference at about issue 15 (and I almost quit it altogether when they put Coltrane on the cover of the Jazz issue and then had NO CONTENT ABOUT COLTRANE -- that was a cheesy foul), but I still read it cover to cover -- usually on the can or just before bed. Don't learn much from it anymore, but the content is still interesting -- if a bit more commercially oriented than it was originally (i.e. editorial content devoted to praising current releases and current reissues).
In the current issue (#40), I swear I read that Joe Cuba interview someplace else like a year or two ago. The line where he was really pissed off about being forced into being Joe Cuba sticks in my mind. Anyone know if this is possible or where it could have been?
the first 12 or whenever they switched to the new flimsier cover tend to fall apart in my experience
the bindings arent done well, so maybe if you have a super minty unused one of those it could increase the value
I was joking about the iPad idea (kind of), but honestly, I can't see why any magazine in the game wouldn't be selling digital copies of their entire collection of back issues, or figuring out how to.
I tossed mine in recycle bin the other day with my wife's stack of Cookie Mags. Didn't know there were worth shit. I did look over them first. The writing is seriously embarrassing.
1-20 will probably sell best but it might go up since they're not reprinting and seems lots of folks want it, even for just the covers. At least, I was able to sell abroad as well. Money is tight so I'd scan them but keep the scans if I really want to make money. I doubt you'll score any money by selling pdfs even if someone has an Ipad.

1.) Sell the issues
2.) Buy Apple stock with the proceeds
3.) Wait for Waxpoetics to drop their iPad app with complete digitized back issues.
4.) Sell enough of the stock to buy the 2nd generation iPad + all the digitized back issues
FLAWLESS.
I'm interested in picking some of those SNC's up....
LOL @
Numbers 1 through 40 going strong.

PS. I stopped following WP after the big feature spread on John "Fresh Feathers" Klemmer (sp?) oh and the Mingering Mike snub.
Another very cheesy foul.

Or, sell the main ones by themselves. Group the odd one together. That might work best.
