Seeking Old Copies of "Motor Boating" magazine
Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2016 9:36 am
A shot in the dark--I'm looking for a few editions of Motor Boating magazine from the mid-1960s through 1970. Fisher-Pierce ran a number of advertisements raising awareness of environmental degradation in America and to register his complaint about the war in Vietnam. From what I understand, Dick Fisher wrote all of the copy at this time, so it's an interesting window to view his dry sense of humor and passion for the preservation of the wild spaces out there.
If anyone has a secret stash of old magazines, let me know. I've checked eBay and reached out to the Bonnier Media Group (owns the Motor Boating title; no longer in print), but am striking out.
Thanks,
