A good friend with this website www.pastpaper.com makes a very comfortable living selling Colliers, Life and other out of date magazines on the web. This business was not sustainable before the internet. He tried flea markets, ads in collector magazines, and a shop. There was no way to attract enough customers to make it work. Or, try finding Efke at your local camera shop: www.jandcphotography.com A wonderful, obsolete film that produces a unique look. Seems like the web is the perfect spot for boutique items that would otherwise be economically untenable. Jim Shulman Bryn Mawr, PA John W.
