Surely this would make her copy even more collectible than it is already. But that too would probably have to be "supplied in xerox", as it is my experience that back volumes of <i>New Society</i> hardly ever come up for sale – had to hunt for years to get to buy a few ones that were otherwise inaccessible to me.Boursinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564272695539641314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045845679444796608.post-91712475575564405002012-01-16T12:01:57.613+00:002012-01-16T12:01:57.613+00:00Morrissey met up with Viv during a South Bank Show...Morrissey met up with Viv during a South Bank Show Smiths special.
