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

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:

https://archive.org/details/your-comput ... ne-1983-10
https://archive.org/details/your-computer-1983-11
... didn't check further ...

Excellent @flatduckrecords

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

Our library also uses BorrowBox and Libby..
