Cherry,

Have you tried eBay.  Most issues are for sale there.

Ok thanks,I got the Conversation With A Gorilla off of Amazon. But it's not really in that good of a condition.  A lot of the sellers on Amazon and E Bay photo shop them so you get fooled when you get them home and their torn or all scratch up they look good on the website though. I don't even know if it's just a copy or the original. How do you know if it's a copy or the original? Sorry I realy didn't introduce myself because I don't see too much activity on hear 

Strange, I have been buying and selling on eBay since 2005. And never seen or heard or came across sellers on that platform photoshopping NGs 😅...for example in amazon and abebooks they dont even put up the pics of the actual magazine at all lol....i would only buy from eBay sellers since they are great about posting pics of their product (well, 90% if them).

Tom B. ,

I agree, in the instances where I will buy through eBay (instead of AbeBooks or Amazon) is because I like to see the photos of actual item I am trying to buy.

However, there alot of times where I could only find something on AbeBooks, and needed to buy "sight unseen" as it were, relying upon only the Seller's verbal description of the condition . . .
