19th Century Issues of The Forum Added to the magawiki and eBay

I just received what was nearly a full year of The Forum from 1895 and listed the issues into the magawiki today (and onto eBay tonight). The issues arrived in better than expected condition, so I’ve gone back and bought another few couple dozen-plus which will also be added here for the end of the month.

Of note throughout 1895 were articles written by future Presidents Theodore Roosevelt (in 3 issues) and Woodrow Wilson, a Hull House related article by Jane Addams, a piece about tariffs by Andrew Carnegie, articles by William Dean Howells, Anatole France, several articles about the new Income Tax laws (most of which ask if Socialism is here), plus one I’m going to have to be sure to read before I sell it–which I imagine would mean this week–about the idea of reviving the Olympics.

I’d read the first paragraph of the Olympic Games article and it mentioned how after 1,500 years the possibility existed of reviving the Olympic Games in 1900. The revival actually occurred about a year after this article was published in the May 1895 issue of The Forum with the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens Greece. So the timetable seems to have been sped up some!

As with practically all new entries to the magawiki the issues are also being listed simultaneously for the first time on eBay … fresh stock! 4 of them are already for sale as I type this as Buy it Now items, the other 7 will be listed at auction later tonight with auctions closing next Tuesday, January 16.

Here’s a direct link to all issues of The Forum that I currently have for sale on eBay. (Auction items will appear by 10:30 pm EST tonight).

Coming next, some issues of The North American Review, approximately 1908-1933.

Latest magawiki listings point you towards potentially available titles

In a happily unintended consequence of the layout of this site I just noticed that now that I’m only adding new entries to the site the Archives section has become an area for visitors to potentially discover in stock for sale items inside my eBay Store.

Trust me, the top question I’m asked by visitors to the magawiki is if a listed title is for sale. Now that’s not the main intention of the magawiki, it’s not a store, but a reference hub for collectors. Old titles sell but the contents pages are always archived here. However, if you click on October 2009 (the most current month in the Archives as I write this) and then head over to my eBay Store from there, you’ll see that all but one of the listed titles are currently listed for sale.

That’s because I really do create these listings as I list the items for sale, and so, the more recent a magawiki entry the more likely it is that you can actually buy the title from me.

(Now if I could only brainstorm a way to automate this)
