I know this is a long shot as this is a fairly obscure fanzine from the late 70s...

Following on from publishing Andy Ravenscroft's Megadungeon from 1980 Tower of Mrannor we're publishing all the extant materials pertaining to his home campaign - an 8 page wilderness map, and various bits such as new classes and monsters and magic items and wandering monster charts and house rules. Some are from his old notes, some from the pages of The Beholder and Demonsblood and quite a lot from Shire Talk.

I own all issues of Demonsblood and most copies of The Beholder, but for Shire Talk we've only got photos Andy's taken of the articles (they are side stapled so won't open to lie flat on a scanner). They're readable, but if anyone happens to have proper scans that would be better! (Or you could sell me the originals) I can tell you which pages of which issues I'm interested in. Otherwise I'll just de-skew the images.

I though Andy had all the issues of Shire Talk?

Yes, Andy does, and he's taken photos of all his own contributions and  then I've rotated and de-skewed and cropped them. Most have ended up looking pretty good.

Joe - I have a few issues of Shire Talk ... what are you looking for ?

Also, if you're missing any of Andy's articles in The Beholder, let me know as I have a complete run of those.

Ryan - thanks for the offer. I've sent you an email with what I've been working on so you can see what I was looking for.
