All newsletters from Sept. 1986 through the current issue are now available for on CD-ROM (2 CD's) for only US$5.00/each postpaid.
Many of the more current newsletters on the CD-ROM are in higher resolution than on this website simply because I have to keep the file size below a certain size on this site. If you would like a CD-ROM, please send a PayPal payment using the button below:
--> MCSC "Stamping Around" Newsletter (issues from September 1986 to June 2001) in PDF format on CD-ROM. A copy of Adobe v7.0 reader will be included on the CD-ROM, as well as a list of all research articles from sorted by issue number. Price includes postage worldwide.
All newsletters above are in Adobe Acrobat "PDF" format and require that you have the Acrobat Reader v5.0 (or higher) installed on your computer if you want to view them (on-line or off-line).
If the filenames end in PDF, then they can be opened directly with the Acrobat Reader, if they end in ZIP, then follow the instructions below.
The Acrobat Reader is free of charge at www.adobe.com . To download the free Acrobat Reader, click on this link and follow the instructions: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
Many of the newsletters had to be compressed using WinZip in order to save space (unfortunately there are limits for file sizes on this website and some newsletters run over that limit). Many WindowsXP based PC's have WinZip already installed; if yours does not, you can download an evaluation version from: http://www.winzip.com/ddchomea.htm . An alternate site for the WinZip program can be found here: http://www.download.com/WinZip/3000-2250-10313328.html
1) To download (save) the newsletter on your PC, "right-click" on the filename and choose "Save Target As" if using Microsoft Internet Explorer or "Save Link Target As" if using Netscape Navigator. Once downloaded, find the file in the folder in which you saved it, and double-click on it to view it on your PC, or in the case of ZIP files, start the WinZip program or simply click on the zip file (in WindowsXP), after which you can choose to open the PDF file.
2) To view newsletters directly in your browser window, simply click on the file names that end in PDF (only recommended if you have a broadband connection and the Acrobat Reader installed). Please be aware that this could take a while, as your browser will have to load the newsletter into memory first; not recommended if using a slower dial-up connection. Note: direct viewing only works with PDF files, and only indirectly with ZIP files. Most WindowsXP system recognize zip files as a special type of folder, opening this folder should allow you to then open the PDF file.

An alternate newsletter site (for the most current issues only) is at our Yahoo Group at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mid-citiesstampclub . You'll have to join the Group and Yahoo! (free) before you can access the "files" section where I will keep the current newsletters.
