I have a full set of 12 issues (limited to 100 copies and never reprinted) which includes the two-part issue eight.
Anyone know what it's worth?

Doesn't anyone have an idea of the value of this set?

Re: Stephen Hobbs' Labyrinth Magazine
You know, if a publisher of magic books were to compile a set of this journal and reprint it as a book, I'd sure buy it.
Wasn't there a guy who did this once, reprinted Swami/Mantra, Talisman, Richard's Almanac, Stanyon's Magic . . . . .
Maybe he could do it.

Hobbs won't allow the material to be reprinted in book form. I asked him about it years ago.

Re: Stephen Hobbs' Labyrinth Magazine
One of the reasons Hobbs is unlikely to reprint Labyrinth as a book is because a lot of the material was from Steve Mayhew, and later this year Stephen Minch (that's three Steves in one sentence!) is scheduled to publish a compilation of Steve Mayhew's card magic. (I compiled/wrote this book). Of course all of Mayhew's stuff from Labyrinth (which is substantial percentage) will be included in the book in updated/rewritten form. It's a really fun book with a lot of great material. I'm very excited about it.

Re: Stephen Hobbs' Labyrinth Magazine
It's hard to say what a full run of Labyrinth is worth because complete files so rarely come up for sale.

Re: Stephen Hobbs' Labyrinth Magazine
When Hobbs made the decision not to reprint Labyrinth, it was early in its run, decades before any of the contributors contemplated making a book in which most of their contributions would appear.
