So I was given some Summit magazines, roughly for 1981 - 89, and am wondering what to do with them. Should I:
1. Give them to the BC Mountaineering Club library, if they need them, which they probably don't?
2. Give them to the public library, which probably already has them, and if it doesn't have them, probably doesn't want them?
3. Send them to some deserving SuperTopian, to help complete a set?
4. Sell them?
5. Recycle bin?
They're the usual quirky Summit mixture, but there's something for everyone in every issue, in context of the times. The set includes:
1981: all six
1982: all six
1983: all six
1984: three of six
1985: five of six
1986: five of six
1987: all six
1988: four of six
1989: two of six
I'll entertain reasonable ideas as to what to do, but would prefer to dispose of them as a package, hopefully to a SuperTopian if no better alternative offers. They probably weigh four or five kg total. I'd at least hope someone would pay for shipping, plus make a suitable donation to the YCA or Access Fund, and get them in return.
Fire away!

What would shipping cost to the USofA?

Summit magazines like this kind of Summit magazine?
I had no idea it survived into the late-80s.
The Summit mags I remember were California-centric with occasional silly poems. Perhaps YCA after you scan them and put them online?

Perhaps I should send them to guido, and he can scan and post them? With diligence, it may only take a month or two.
No idea what shipping would cost, but could look into it.
If anyone's interested, one possibility may be delivery at the FaceLift in 2012. Certainly if the YCA wants them, that would be a good home.

If you want to hang on until September in the Valley I will happily relive you of excess paper.

Anders:
Summit, IMO, was about the best climbing magazine during the 70's. Allen Sanderson gave me a good part of the set for that time. If you would, hold onto them and bring them to Facelift next September. I think if I rig the box with a tape handle I can carry them back with me on the train.

Edit:
By all means they should go to holders who will make them publicly available. For that matter if Ken can use the ones I have, I can carry them North next fall.

That sounds like a plausible idea, unless the YCA or such needs them.
You may need to send a check list before I leave for the FaceLift, though. Magazines? Respirator? Anything else? (hee hee)
