Dear lord, what hath you wrought here? As if I'm not already behind enough with my record scanning, now there's a site I can submit magazine scans to as well? (And not just music ones either, since I see someone's already putting on Which? and Murder Casebook... What about fanzines?...)

How do we define a 'newsletter'?
I presume this is a publication tha comes for free with membership of a society, club, church or other group
In which case can we have the many magazines which are only available through paid membership of a society etc?

We've removed 'Newletter' form the NO list.
What I really meant was 3 or 4 page photocopied type affairs. I didn't want to say 'nothing under 6 pages' as I'm sure someone would immediately find a 5 page isue of Mojo published in Tibet.
I have two quarterly magazines called 'The Countryman', from '57/8. These look more like a paperback novel, but is what i think to be a magazine. Only it has a bout 200 pages. Would this be OK or not?
I think , checking ebay , that The Countryman was (Since around the 1930s) a quarterly magazine - it seems to be going to at least the 1980s and maybe still is, but it also issued Annual Books - which seem to comprise re-issues of older articles , so I think you have the books , which is not the magazine , 200 pages of A5 seems a little heafty for the quarterleys but indeed it is so , no wonder its a quarterly - would take 3 months to prepare and read !
Don't forget for publications that have an intended chronological successor to be published you need to apply for an ISSN number ( Cost I think is about a tenner , if that ), and submit 5(or 6 ) copies to the British Library Central Deposit Scheme ( they distribute copies to National Library of Scotland , BL in London , Bodelian Oxford ).
Indeed should we not have a field for ISSN number in the input pages , just for completeness , (note this will change if a new publisher takes over an existing title - I think as part of the ISSN is a publisher code )
