Yeah, I've got a complete collection from October 1978 to December 1991 (by which time they had became just another x86 PC rag). I bought a fair few individual copies myself from 78 or 79 until the late 80s, but the bulk of my collection I got for free from an elderly engineer in I think the late 2000s.

Here's a tweet I made packing them up when I was moving overseas in April 2015:

I also have a 1984 Encyclopædia Britannica, all 30 volumes.

Will anyone want them when I can't house them?

Nobody wants those things - but some may need them.

What do I mean? If you posted them for free you might get a taker, but probably not.

But it's possible you might identify the right child at the right time who could appreciate them.

1991 Byte might be too old, but a 1984 Britannica has something even an offline copy of Wikipedia doesn't.
