That is sad. I stopped subscribing around 10 years ago since I gave up chess for a while. But his magazines were a joy in the 90's.Steve B wrote:Sadly publication of Selective Search Magaizine ceased a few months ago with Issue 166scandien wrote:Hello all,

If I were him I think I'd sell them as entire sets of 166 issues on Ebay. Or maybe sell the PDF of them.
I hope dedicated computer chess doesn't die.

Perhaps, as a farewell and a funerary ceremony you could publish here the very last number...in PDF or whatever...Carl Bicknell wrote:That is sad.

actually Eric does not have a complete set himselfCarl Bicknell wrote:

I was missing a few issues(4-5 or so) and when I contacted him he didn't have all of them either
thanks to Mike Watters I was able to complete the set when he sent me copies of the missing issues
here is what a complete set looks like when bound up in volumes (12 issues to a volume)
a volume open to SS 89:

Your next task of a life, beyond what you have already achieved with your computer collections, is to digitize all that issues, pass that stuff to CD and put them at the disposal of your colleagues here and in the world, at a price or not according your mood.
I am sure you can find some guy to digitize for a discrete sum of money..
Is is all about scanning and no more
It will take you five grands at most regards
