Magazine Memories closed last August, 2009 after 20 years, but Bob Katzman can now be found in Skokie, Illinois in the same kind of enterprise, as described below. The information on the old site will be updated soon to reflect the new location's details. We appreciate your continued business. There are only six back-issue magazine stores still operating in the entire USA. Your loyal support will keep us alive.
Where Print Still Lives
I’m Bob Katzman, and I carry 100,000 periodicals back to 1681.
I carry original Life, Ebony, Look, Post, Time, Newsweek, Colliers, Vogue, Esquire, Cosmo, Bazaar, Fortune, Playboy, McCall’s, Rolling Stone, Lady’s Home Journal, Better Homes, Sports Illustrated, Motor Trend, Mad, Jazz, military, film, theater and train magazines, as well as 20,000 posters
Prices are mostly low and people will love to receive these authentic gifts reflecting the actual times of their lives. Buy a woman a magazine from when she was “Sweet 16” or graduated from college, or from when a man was in Viet Nam or opened a business. Be creative. It doesn’t have to be a birthday. I also carry flags of all nations for any occasion that calls for them.
Theater groups use us as a source for props as do movie production companies, for decades.
Teachers from all grade levels use my store as a source of unique teaching aids, and even bring their students to tour my store, at no charge. We are a sort of retail museum, and cooler to visit than you may imagine. Please inform any teacher or theater prop managers you may know about our existence.
I sell all five of my non-fiction books about Chicago from a street-level point of view. I opened the original wooden Bob’s Newsstand in Hyde Park in 1965 when I was 15. If you think you really know how Chicago works, you will be surprised by what you never read in the newspapers, forty years ago. I write about violence, crime, love, grit, determination, friendship, carpentry, Judaism and revenge.
I have sold over 5,000 of my books since 2004 all over the United States and in Europe.
