Lizzie Borden Society Forum

Does anyone know if there's any way to get hold of back issues of the now-defunct "Lizzie Borden Quarterly"?
Thanks to anyone who helps.

When I wanted a copy of one of Len Rebello's articles from a back issue, I got it from the library at Bristol Community College in Fall River.

It helped, I think, that my mother works at our library in Fairhaven. She made the phone call and somebody from BCC faxed the article to her. You could either contact BCC's library directly or have your local library contact them.

Good Luck!

That's good info to know- thanks Christopher!

Sometimes they are up for sale on E-Bay, aren't they?
I don't know for sure.

Yes- once in a great while someone will be selling an LBQ on eBay. They go for a pretty penny.

I've been noticing that newsletters or magazines you get when you're a member of a historical group seem to go way up in value: The Titanic Historical Society published a wonderful glossy magazine about the Titanic & other ocean liners 4 times a year we got with our membership. I've seen that for $50 a copy. The Little Big Horn Associates sent you a monthly newsletter + once a year a big glossy magazine called "Greasy Grass" (Lakota for Little Big Horn I believe). I've seen those for sale. And the LBQ's are collectible.

I would think that "The Hatchet" will really go up in value as well.

Augusta--I'm fascinated by your Titanic interest. Have you read about Clarence Moore, the first husband of Mabel(lle) F. Swift?

Hello, NB - No, I haven't heard of Clarence Swift. I think I just saw the title of a post about it and will go back to see.

I've been interested in the Titanic since I was a little kid. My brother and I used to talk about it. I used to think that some day they would find it. My brother would tell me how ornate everything was on the ship, and we pictured it still in new condition down there. I heard that in ?? years it's gonna disintegrate.

I've read Lord's books - "A Night to Remember" and his second book after that. I think he passed away. I've read quite a few books on the subject and have quite a few books on my shelf to-be-read.

The entire story is fascinating. The period is interesting, too. Everyone was so sure of things - the machines, the inventions that were out by then, and their own wealth. Edith Hart (a famous survivor who is on all the shows about the ship) said that her mother would keep her clothing on and sit up all night because she felt uneasy. When proclaimed "unsinkable", her mother said that was like flying in the face of God. I think there is something to that.

The Bristol college in Fall River has back issues of The Lizzie Borden Quarterly available. Earlier this year, I bought one copy of every issue from them, except for the first issue which is sold out.
