For those seeking an instant hockey library, we offer a substantial magazine and book collection totaling north of 330, ranging from the 1950s right up until the present day. Included, we have approx 250 vintage French-language hockey magazines, including large concentrations from titles such as Sports (1960s – 31 copies), Le Sport Illustre (1950s – 36 copies), Le Sportif (1960s – 39 copies), Les Sports (1950s – 24 copies), Sport-Revue (1950s/60s – 91 copies) and misc. magazines (34 copies). The stars of the day are featured on gorgeous covers including Plante, Howe, Beliveau, Sawchuk, Hull, Hall, Bower, the Rocket and many others. Next, we have copies of “Almanach du Peuple” (French-language hockey guide) for 1953, 1955, 1956, 1957 and 1959, approx 54 soft cover books (some in French) featuring Tretiak, Lafleur, Richard, Dryden, Hull and many others. Lastly, we also have 23 hard cover books, including titles “Les Illustres Canadiens”, “9 – Maurice Richard”, “Les Grand du Hockey” and many others.
The majority of the magazines in the collection display wonderfully with just light to moderate handling wear present, with just the odd copy in lower grade with creasing or tears. Some of the earlier 1950s examples also show moderate wear, especially along the spines. The books all show handling wear commensurate with their former use.
