A member of the cher public has an interesting offer:
“I have about 40 years’ worth of the British magazine Opera, most of them bound, which I would love to get rid of (no charge.) No library here is interested, but I thought some opera fanatic might want them. He or she would have to pick them up from my building [on the Upper West Side].”
If you are the fanatic in question, you may contact the declutterer at [email protected].
