Urgent help needed from U.S based Ebayer!!

[Nigel]

My current "The War of the Worlds: Evolution" academic work is stalled at present as I desperately need a particular copy of The Cosmopolitan magazine from 1897 for reference (copies and scans will not do as I need to verify the original text and layout as it was published). These are all but impossible to get in the UK. There is at the moment a seller on eBay who has a copy of the issue I need but does not ship internationally (or even accept questions so I can't ask if they will be prepared to ship). Is there a U.S based fellow Goodreader who would be able to assist by purchasing it and shipping it to the UK (obviously I will sent funds by Paypal beforehand - the auction has a buy it now of under $30 and is for 2 issues, the helpful person is welcome to keep the one I don't need - and then cover any shipping costs plus some compensation for the time and trouble of doing this). The helpful person will no doubt also get an honourable mention in the "with thanks to" prologue.

Clearly this is the request of a desperate man, but I have 750,000 words of text sitting around doing nothing until i can get a copy of this mag for reference.

With thanks,

Nigel

Hi Joan - that's very generous of you but sadly somebody has beaten us to it - it was a very cheap buy-it-now so it got snapped up. Thanks again for the offer though, it really is appreciated.
