My husband has about thirty of these mags which he bought before I knew him then when we were buying our first house in 1968′ these magazines were invaluable when we were doing DIY,and the prices of materials then is just unbelievable, !!!He is wanting to sell them now as we are downsizing and need to clear stuff from the loft.

I have 25 copies from between October 1955 and February 1958 which were my father’s. I see them advertised on eBay at from £3.99 to £5.99 each. I am thinking of selling them on Gumtree for £25 the lot or individually at £1 which I will donate to starving children.

I’m sorry, they weren’t my magazines they were in a pile on the floor of a place I worked at briefly last year.

Hi Thom,
I have the April 1947 edition and in it is an article about a baby home two young women set up during the war. My mum was put in that home as her parents were from Poland and she was brought up by the lady who ran it.
I’m looking for further copies… do you happen to have one? Also, is there any mention of it in this issue? Trying to do some research The article was written by Alice Hooper Beck.
Thanks!
Anna

Really interesting data — as well as fascinating from the infographics history standpoint. Thanks for posting!
