I was in Barnes & Noble today and noticed they have complete reprints of the New York Times from Monday, July 21 1969. They are in plastic wrap. Just a heads up for fellow cS'ers. The price is $9.98.

From the New York Times web site (took me a while to find it).

(Not available outside the US and Canada.)

The New York Times site has it for $18, but Barnes & Noble has a better deal at $8 right here.

It appears to be the same item if you compare the descriptions.

Indeed a better deal than the $39 from Amazon.com...

The shipping to order online is $3.99, unless you get your order total over $25. I went to BN.com, found the item, then seached by zipcode for local stores having the newspaper in stock. The price is $9.98 at the stores.

I got my NY Times reprint at Barnes & Noble yesterday, and though it is very cool, the photo reproduction is pretty bad. All of the articles are readable, but back before my original copy was ruined (long story), I remember the photo reproduction to be quite good.

It makes me wonder if the NY Times store edition is a better reproduction.

Nothing beats the look, feel and smell of the real thing, however.

I was also at Barnes and Noble yesterday and was disappointed in the quality of the reprint.

Has anyone gotten the one sold by the NY Times store?

I'd get one if the quality of the photo reproduction is better.

If one's interested, the New York Times is selling a limited edition (limited to 300) repro of their front page when Apollo 11 landed, authentically signed by Aldrin (but also coming with a limited edition medallion as well.) Cost? $795.

All times are CT (US)
