I haven't seen this mentioned before so thought I'd post a link to

8+bit Magazine Rack

Here’s a similar project, but it works particularly well on mobile:

I've just finished scrolling, there's a lifetime of reading in there!

If you notice any magazine there (or anywhere else) that's missing from our own magazine section please let me know!

AFAIK we are currently missing a few issues of Happy Computer and Load'n'Run, and some of the most obscure newsletters. These are in my TODO list.

I don't know anything else that we don't have but exists anywhere else. If you find out otherwise please post it here.

There are three copies of Computer Trade Weekly in pdf format at SegaRetro. They are from 1991/92 but still have relevant Spectrum content. Over 300 earlier issues are missing.

@Einar Saukas,

There are couple of Italian magazines which I don't believe we have indexed:

Sinclair ZX Notizie:

Sinclair Dossier:

Thank you all!

I notice that some "Your Computer" issues are available on archive.org but missing here in SC, namely:
https://archive.org/details/your-comput ... -july-1983
https://archive.org/details/your-computer-1983-09
https://archive.org/details/your-comput ... ne-1983-10
https://archive.org/details/your-computer-1983-11
... didn't check further ...

[Einar Saukas]

Thank you!

PressReader app has new and recent magazines, including Retrogamer and the Fusion publications Crash, Zzap etc.

You can read for free with your local library card!

[PeterJ]

Excellent @flatduckrecords

I use PressReader but didn't know they did the Fusion magazines.

Our library also uses BorrowBox and Libby..

Computer Gamesweek

11 issues available in pdf from Sega Retro and RetroCDN. Only three of them have been uploaded to the Internet Archive..

These are all great links, thanks guys! It's great when the community pools together with this kind of information, though a shame that threads get forgotten over time. If no one's already done it, it would be nice if links like this could be collected somewhere into a handy links page, perhaps with other categories such as Speccy-related YouTube channels. Then again, there are so many threads collecting useful lists of information (especially those made by Pete Prodge) it would be hard to know where to draw the line! I hope all the threads on this forum get preserved forever somewhere!

About links to magazines, do you mean something like this?

https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/magazines.php

There are about ten thousand magazine issues available to read from this page. It's the largest Sinclair-related magazine archive in the internet. Whenever someone locates anywhere else a magazine issue that we don't have yet, it's usually added in the next archive update.

Even so, it seems most people in this forum don't know about it!

Sounds like we need an old-skool FAQ!
