Title: Acquiring old copies
Post by: Obiwan3 on August 19, 2007, 09:25:37 AM
Is there a preference for which volumes to pick up? I have the most recent half dozen or so. Thanks.

Hi,
I have found old copies in charity shops and specialist SF shops. It is very hard to find most of the early books in the UK, someone needs to do omnibus editions here like they do in France. :o

Do you mean old copies of the earlier books or of the zines?

As I said in another topic, I found them on Amazon; I had to buy them used but it's ok

Sorry, I don't know what a "zine" is.

Darn that American English!   A 'zine is a magazine.  In this instance, Deryni Archives, the Magazine - <http://www.airsid.net/C/75.htm>

At airsid.net there's a link to the 'zine page, with ordering information.  The site's undergoing an overhaul now, and that page didn't want to load for me tonight.  Maybe someone else can assist?

Well, I got http://formmail.to/cgi-bin/odbic.exe/formmail.to/odb/form.odb?form=datz to load at airsid. Try and see if it works for you.

It will be easiest if you contact Julianne  Toomey-Kautz who is the current editor of DA the Zine. You can send her a private message on this board, as she's a member. Scroll up and you'll see she has an entry on this thread. I'm sure she'll be happy to help you out with the ordering information. I'm not sure Airsid is even still available as the webmistress thereof has become too busy to maintain it.

Yes, I'm still here.  And as far as I know, Deryni Archives the Zine is remaining on Kiri's Airsid site, for which I  am devoutly grateful!

Sorry I've had to drop off the face of the newsgroups for a while. We've been having some major work done on the house -- new roof, all new windows -- and everything has been a disaster here for more than a month.  I've been told that tomorrow is the contractor's last visit. Thank God!  Then I have to finish cleaning the house. There is white sawdust EVERYWhere!  Ick!  But I have found things like my zine pricing/weighing (weight for postage, you know) list again and will get back in business.

There won't be mailing for a while, though. My car flunked inspection and goes to the mechanic tomorrow (Monday 7/14).

When that's done, I have some edited stories to email to KK for issue 20.

Oh, and I was just up at Staples Copy Center picking up some back issues of the zines so those kind people who have been waiting for their zines should be seeing them soonish.

Outstanding news! Sorry about your car; my truck did that to me. So I can wait semi-patiently a litle longer. Thanks, Julianne.

Old copies of the zine are now available (although my poor car hasn't passed inspection yet: the mechanic who was putting in my new clutch had some sort of diabetic shock and went into the hospital--poor guy).

Email me here if you can't get on Kiri's Airsid site.  Please remember that I need zip code (or country) to be able to quote postage for you!

I sympathize about the car.  Back in mid-July, our Explorer had a bit of an engine fire.  Ok, more than a bit- it's toast!  I've been without a car since, as we have been waiting- waiting- waiting for the insurance to pay up.  Funny how slow they can be when they are paying OUT the money!  Finally got it and picked out a nice, pretty, silvery-gray Town and Country.  Funny thing is, I rarely really go anywhere during the week- little errands and stuff.  But when I was without a car, I felt trapped and forced to stay here!  Odd how those little psychological things work.

After my father died, I realized that I almost never used the car.  It sat in the garage for a whole month!  So I sold it.  I use my bicycle for my primary means of transportation now.  If I am going on a long trip, I'll rent a car.
