We have been asked several times if we are affiliated with other vintage Life magazines websites because of the scrolling Life magazine covers logo on each of our sites.
We are completely independent of any other Life magazine websites.
There are two other websites that sell Life magazines that must have liked our site a lot because they seem to copy everything we do. From the scrolling Life magazines across the top of the page, which was our idea and design, to the 2000+ tables of contents images that they both copied from my site and placed on theirs. It took me several months to manually scan those images from the issues themselves.
I also have the only Index search that exists because of a year long project it took for me to put that together. The other sites use the index search on my site to do searches for their customers.
Anyway my point is, if you care about fairness when you decide who to use for your vintage Life magazines, please consider all of this. I know I don’t own the content of the magazines and can’t stop other sites from stealing them from my site but I wish they would have done the 100’s of hours of work for themselves.
I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
We are going to have available soon some great Shadowbox frames. These look like a frame to hang on the wall but it is like a display box for your Life magazine. The frame has a hinged front glass door that opens for you to put the magazine in or remove as needed. The door has magnets that hold it securely closed
The frame is 11X14 inches and is just right for the magazines. The magazine actually just stands up nicely with no mounting needed. It can than be hung on the wall or placed on a coffee table or other display area.
I have had many requests over the years for a display frame for the Life magazines in a way that they can be removed and looked at easily but yet be displayed nicely on the wall also. We have finally found an affordable way of doing this.
The frames are made of real wood and come in black, white or a reddish cherry look.
The price is $15.95 with the purchase of a magazine.
