Waiting mode

I'm waiting on the next batch of Workbasket magazines to come in from eBay. Should be here any day. I'm excited about this shipment (well, I'm excited about all of them) because there are several magazines from the 30s in with this batch. Haven't seen a Workbasket from the 30s except in illustrations.

I found it interesting that the early 40s Workbasket magazines were printed on one sheet of paper to be mailed out and then the customer was expected to cut the pages to they could use it as a magazine format. The batch that I got had never been cut so I still have one long piece of paper strategically folded to conform to the magazine pages. Since these haven't been cut it didn't really make sense to me when I first saw them. The odd little things you pick up from your various hobbies.

The index is coming along nicely. You can see it here. Let me know what you think of it.

I'm also at the point where I'm going to start listing my duplicate Workbasket Magazines for sale. I have a listing on Etsy.com but I'm trying to conform to rule that you can't change a listing after it's been posted to try and save the 20 cents that a new listing would cost you. I like having all the magazines available for the customer to make their choice but I keep getting additional purchases and so maybe I'll just list them on my website for sale and avoid the 20 cents issue altogether.

Such hard decisions life is made of. Some days it's tough. Other days much easier.
