This isn't exactly a question. I'm looking for an image. Can you do
that? I need to see what the cover of the September 1974 issue of the
magazine "Gentlemen's Quarterly" looks like. If you can't find that,
any cover from 1974 will suffice.I'm sure this exists on microfiche or
film somewhere. A scan of a
microfilm copy would be great. I don't need a clean perfect image,
just enough detail to see the logo and general cover layout and
headlines, if any.

Hi cleobald,

Good news!  I found the September 1974 issue for sale by Reed Books,
The Museum of Fond Memories and he took a scan for you. He's been
trying to send it to me but our isp isn't cooperating, so the best
thing to do would be for you to email Jim and he will email the scan
to you directly. Tell him hummer sent you!

I was glad to be able to find this for you, thanks to Jim Reed and his
quick response. If you have any questions, please post a clarification
request *before* closing/rating my answer and I'll be happy to reply.

Thank you,

Search Strategy:

I searched used books websites until I found the Sept. '74 issue, I
then emailed the bookseller.

Hummer! THank you so much! I spent hours online looking for this and
couldn't find ANYTHING. Jim Reed duly sent me the scan, and it's
exactly what I need. I really appreciate your quick work, and the fact
that you let me know exactly how you tracked the item down.

You're welcome, cleobald, and thank you for your nice note and rating.
Thank goodness there are still some real, independent booksellers left
(versus the Amazons) who care about people. Hats off to Jim Reed!

Welcome to GA!
Sincerely, 
hummer
