Second one is really a limited edition, first one listed are simply library bound volumes.......

I bid on them last auction and if they aren't made out of gold, they were priced like it. Maybe the reserve came down.......

Mark is right, my apologies.

The four volumes of the first 16 issues are "Limited Edition" and the other four volumes of the first forty issues are simply bound is a similar fashion.

Actually, I looked at the first 75 issues for sale on e-bay and they were priced at an average of 9.33 each and my reserve was much lower.

The four thick binders are the standard Warbirds Worldwide binder sets offered at the time - the magazines are not 'bound' but slipped in through a plastic wire system, so they can still be removed. However when WW went to the Perfect Bound with spine version of the magazine for later issues, these binders were no longer recommended as they could cut the spine which was no longer stapled and folded as before, and each issue was thicker, so the latter issues were intended to be in the box-file style binders - less uniform as a set of course.

I remain corrected, I learn something new every day!

Oh, no correction intended, just adding a bit! I should also say that if cared for there's no problem with the latter WW journals in the early binders; I've got a number that way myself.

(And for those who don't know, I'm the ex-Assistant Editor of WW to the late Paul Coggan, Editor.)
