80th birthday gift
Bought for someone’s 80th; Excellent product and such a quick delivery
First-Class Source Of Back-dated Newspapers.
Good evening dear Trust Pilot - thank you for asking me to give a review concerning *‘Historic Newspapers’. I selected *them because I was sure they would give me exactly what I wanted, namely a recent back-copy of the ‘Daily Mail’ together with its ‘Weekend’ television guide. This ‘Historic Newspapers’ did very well. They tended to over-price but it was worth it! Good job.
Fantastic service.
Fantastic service with prompt delivery
