In the post Les Pères Spirituels, below, I mentioned an issue of 35mm Photography magazine in which both Edouard Boubat and the Turnley brothers appeared. It turns out that that was the first issue of that magazine that our friend Jim Hughes edited, after a happy eight year stint at Camera 35. It was dated Winter 1976.
It's also a bit of a problem for Jim, because it's the only issue of the magazine he doesn't have. I know this is a bit of a long shot, lo these 36 years later, but—anyone have a copy of that issue they'd be willing to part with? Or know where one can be had?
If you do, leave a comment or contact me by email, and I'll pass the intelligence along to JH. Thanks.
Mike
UPDATE: Found! By reader Doug Chadwick. It was part of a lot of six issues on Ebay. I bought the lot so I can have a few sample issues of the magazine for my own library (I don't collect magazines, even the ones my own articles appeared in, but I have a motley of samples of different ones going back to the 1930s). I'll pass the Turnley/Boubat issue along to Jim after I sneak a peek at it.
Good find, Doug!

I don't know the rights issue with this magazine but I would like to view this old articles too. Would be a possibility to publish here a pdf or something like this to view both articles? Just asking, sorry, I only have one issue of this magazine and is not the one we are talking.

I hope you find it. Jim and I were corresponding about this a few months ago. I thought I had every issue of 35mm Photography, but it turns out that I did not have this particular one.
I was, however, able to supply him with a copy of every issue of Camera 35 that he edited. I have more copies of most of those issues, plus both earlier and later years available for sale.

It looks like there's a small but ongoing market for 1970s era issues of 35mm Photography on eBay. There's a couple issues up now, and in "completed" items I find more.
I would suggest keeping your eyes peeled on eBay!

I saved 4 issues of CAMERA ARTS magazine, all with columns by Jim Hughes. My favorite is the premier issue fall 1997 which has the "Chez Kertesz" article. I would love to see a book with all of his columns.
