Very nice of you, but I had an UP Yourself Book and got rid of it. Hate that it has the NL logo even attached to it. The Canada Special is not really high on my list and is only something I'd care to score if it came across my path in some cheap dollar box or the like. I came across an unopened box of Sunday Parodies around a decade ago, and they sell very well still. Not as well as the Yearbook Parody, which usually doesn't last longer than a week when I get copies and catalog them, but it's a bit of ephemera people love to check out, if only for it's excellent design! jdandns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a copy of the Sunday Newspaper parody a few years ago... it's luckily complete, but it's fragile. It really was brilliantly designed... which is true for a LOT of the Lampoon parodies. jdandns, wpbooks01, Randall Dowling and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason to adore NL, Especially when Michael Gross took over the look of the mag from the stoners that were there the first few issues. One of my prize NL related possessions is this issue of Print Magazine from the mid-70's! jdandns and Randall Dowling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to say I know the feeling. About 20 years ago, I found a box with about 20 pristine copies of the HS Yearbook, 1st Prints.

HoudiniOnTheMap Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 On 3/5/2022 at 10:17 AM, mrc said: Back in the day, Skateboarder was my fave magazine. At school we would pore over the photos, trying to work out how to do the latest tricks. The Stecyk 'Dogtown' articles were a highlight and photo techniques such as fish-eye and motor-drive were in their infancy. So over the last five years I've been trying to complete my collection (mostly VF+) but still require issue no.1 and the photo annual. The Jim Muir poster is from Skateboard World magazine and the one I had on my bedroom wall - to remind me of, what decent weather looked like! That Grosso cover is so sick...might slab that one as well...they've only released a few in memorium covers over the years. mrc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been keeping my eye out for several of them and eventually hope to upgrade a few of the ones that I already have . The main ones I have been after are the Ralph Steadman / Hunter S Thompson issues, but always looking to see what else is out there that survived. Most have subscription stickers, although I have been lucky to find a few without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great books in any case! It's the only book I have signed by HST, but I prefer Las Vegas. It's one of the only books I reread regularly and have since high school. I will say, though, that Campaign Trail '72 gave me an appreciation for our election system in a way Civics class did not. It's number two on my HST list, for sure!!! onlyweaknesskryptonite and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
