Honestly, I’m jealous. I used to get boxes of free books donated by people to my college, and since I was on good terms with the office workers I sways got first dibs. Injected a ton of good stuff into my nascent, beginners library.
I get really giddy when I get to take on books like this. I'm actually in a position to be giving some of my own books away at this point. I've found several students to gift certain books to over the last couple of years.
I found a few issues of Horizon at a junk shop in town some years ago, and love them. It's just a shame how much is thrown away by libraries, especially academic libraries; I would have thought that one of the purposes of a library would be to preserve the kinds of things that aren't readily available online. Congratulations on your valiant efforts, and I hope the material you salvaged will be of use sometime down the way!
Thanks William! That is such a beautiful magazine and I'm glad other people know about it. I do understand the demands of storage space over time. We are lucky to be able to house these in our department!

If you have any no one else wants let me know. I have made little effort to stop expanding my library 😜
