The April catalog (#365) of collectible newspapers is now available. This catalog is being released early due to the typical release date (April 1st) being associated with a bit of (albeit playful) foolish pranking. Somehow it just didn’t seem to fit. 🙂

5) Additional Ideas for Gift Giving:

  • As collectors and dealers of Rare & Early Newspapers, while we NEVER offer reprints of newspapers, copies of specific articles are an occasional exception – and when done, they are printed on non-newsprint and are clearly identified as such. One of the more popular items for gift-giving in this category is a copy of an original: 1st-Ever NYT Sunday Crossword Puzzle (copy)

* Note re: Holiday Shipping – We are sending this newsletter a bit earlier than usual to increase the chance that any item/s ordered will arrive in time for Christmas. If historic/rare newspapers are part of your gifting plans this year, please know we will make every effort to ship incoming orders within 48 business hours.

6) The History’s Newsstand Blog – bi-weekly posts of potential interest to those who collect rare & early newspapers. An aye aye lemur’s handful of recent posts includes:
