Hi Philip,
I'm probably far too late with this but I don't suppose you still have the Spring 1983 issue of the Astrological Journal for sale? I'm after an article by D. Pallent on the Metal Markets.
Thanks - Gavin

Hi Gavin!

Thank you for your interest. In fact, you're not too late because all the 1980s issues of the Astrological Journal are still available.

I have put many (though far from all) of the items up on eBay a couple of months ago since the response via Skyscript and Facebook was very little and I still had almost an entire bookcase full of these items surplus to my collection. Quite a few have sold, so I'm going to edit the original post accordingly in a few minutes to reflect what has gone, but I currently have 38 still for sale on eBay in addition to those that have not yet been listed on eBay.

I broke down the listings for the Astrological Journals into smaller lots than originally advertised, consisting of 5-8 issues each.

You can find the lot containing the 1983 issue you are after among the items listed on eBay here.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/philip_75/m.htm ... 7675.l2562

Best wishes,

Philip

Thanks Philip, I'll have to ruminate on that a bit, seeing as it's only the one article I'm after!
