Life Magazine November 19th, 1965 (The Great Northeast Blackout)

Description: One of the slightly less common issues, there's typically only around 20 examples of this particular issue for sale on eBay at any one time, although at this time last year you would have been able to find 35 to 40 but has become harder to find. It's is a popular gift or collectible for anyone old enough to remember the Great Blackout that hit the East Coast that week. (I was only 8 and I remember exactly where "I" was. How many of you remember that now famous question: "Where were YOU when the lights went out?") Most copies are in "Acceptable" condition which is kinda beat up and have missing pages, split bindings, tears, underlining and folds. This one is in MUCH better shape and is priced fairly too! My notes here described it as being in " Nice" condition. COMPLETE Original magazine! Nice, readable condition. Covers may show some typical soiling or wear. Mailing label on front. A pretty NICE copy! The major seller of life magazines on the Internet (called "Original Life magazines") sells copies of this issue for $34.18 PLUS shipping!This vintage magazine has tons of great ads that can be used for projects, framing, or to give as a gift to reminisce. Life Magazines make unique gifts for Birthdays, Anniversaries or other special events. Another excellent use is for a coffee table showpiece or in waiting rooms. Definitely they are informative and great conversation pieces! Life Magazine focused on a very specific time frame with the current news of the day. Give someone (or yourself) something unique that will show or remind them what was happening in the world during that time long ago.
