Hey all!
I have a collection of print copies of the Alan Review spanning the years from 2008 through 2012. I found myself hired in an elementary library, and can't use them anymore. If you are interested in having them, I'll ship them to you, no charge! Just email me directly at kimberlyschmitt@yahoo.com. Thanks!
