A little history about our store.
I started collecting magazines and old newspapers in 1963, when I was 13, the day that President Kennedy died, and I've never stopped.

History fascinated me: who did what to who--when--where--why--and what future editions revealed about the past.

When a famous person died; a movie star, or pilot, or explorer, magazines would go back over their whole lives and you can see how they became the people they turned out to be.

I eventually collected 100,000 magazines and opened a small store in Chicago to see if people were interested. Boy! Were they ever!
