where to find old Life magazine issues?

[Florian1234]

I'm looking for some old issues of Life magazine from the 1950's. For example the two issues in which some of the photos of Cartier-Bresson's trip to Russia were published.

Is there any chance to find them nowadays? And how much would you expect to cost them?

Ebay has a whole slew of them, in N. America garage sales turn some up and old book and magazine dealers in large cities have them along with old National Geographics.

Life magazine will revive in another form.

My high school library had a good collection of them, I spent many a lunchtime with my nose buried in them when I should have been out causing trouble. I realize you're in Germany but it might be worth a look at a large library.

Libraries should have them. You may find the German edition, but I'm sure that something like HCB wouldn't get filtered in the international issue.

You just need the date of issue and a bit of good luck...I think I paid $5 plus shipping...
