I built the shelves out of 3/4 inch plywood which I'm confident will support my collapsing house in an earthquake.

There is a similar setup for the pre-1943 issues (when they were larger newspapers), but without the storage box lids.

I think everything after that first sentence has probably confused everybody.

The camera on my blackberry isn't working and my lovely wife is already at Coachella (she likes to get in line early for a prime spot), so I can't borrow her iphone.

PS - and all 3,971 issues that I have back thru 1923 are for sale if anybody has an interest in ALL of them.
