Is there an available copy of the Swingers International Journal
(between 1973 and 1975) that covered the party house "Eden", in which
John Holmes and I, along with the owners, Rich & Linda, were included?
 (There was also news coverage on this same subject!)

Do you require the original issue, or would a copy suffice?

I would like to know where and how much to purchase a copy of this
publication once found.  Thank you.

An original would be better, as I'm current writing a book, but any
copies would be useful...sorry, I did not respond sooner, I had no
idea that this area (where your question was posted) existed...Thank
you!

I'm sorry if it was not clear...this is/was a magazine and the article
I seek was covered in one of their issues...pictures on the front
cover had John Holmes and myself in them, as well as inside with the
article itself...:>))
Thanks, Cher

The closest title to this I have found that was in press during the
years you note is, "Swingers World" magazine, published by Knight
Publishing Corporation.
I think the publisher and/or a major library would be the most likely
sources to find a copy. Although I have not found it by the title you
listed in any of the libraries I have checked, the Library of Congress
lists this magazine in its catalogue (catalogue.loc.gov). You might
try sending an e-mail to "Ask a Librarian" at the Library of Congress
(http://www.loc.gov/rr/askalib/).

This publisher has not been easy to find. Its address was once located
in Los Angeles, CA.

Although serials or periodicals databases index a wide range of
magazines, I have not found this one listed in the major ones.
Sometimes going to a library where it is held and checking the covers
of the issues during that area is only way to identify the actual
issue. Some magazines have an annual index as well in December, which
might help identify the issue more quickly.

Again, the only library that I am aware of that has owned the magazine
I noted is the Library of Congress. Finding the publisher might be the
best way to locate a copy you can obtain or access if the going to the
library is not practical.

I wanted to thank you for your efforts...I tried the Ask a Librarian
at the Library of Congress and they had no answers, but they did refer
me to the "Museum of Sex" in New York...my search continues...thank
you again for your time...Cher Vinarde-Holmes
