set of 21 issues of the New York
Times: September 12th to 25th and 29th
and October 5th to 9th. There are two
different editions (Early and Late) of the Sunday, Sept. 16th issue with
different headlines included.
A set like this — spanning the
full two weeks after the attack, plus some early October world developments —
is exceedingly rare, especially in uncirculated condition. They are as pristine as the day each appeared
on the newsstand.
All Monday to Saturday editions
are complete. All Sunday editions
include all the main sections (on average 8) and the Times Magazine, but not
some of the non-news sections.
All issues are in excellent
condition, and none have ever been read or even unfolded. Please read the
descriptions below for exact details. No
fading. Some slight yellowing — not from
light, but from the acid content in the 25-year-old newsprint. Each issue is in
its own archival, acid-free plastic bag.
Except as described here, no
labels or markings and all sections are present, complete and undamaged. The number of sections varied day by day,
from 4 to 8, except for Sunday editions which had more.tab-stops:list .25in">·
Sept. 14th has a very
short closed tear at the top of page 1 with no paper or image loss.

Sept. 15th has 3
sections, which I believe was the complete paper, but I am not 100% sure.

Sunday Sept. 16th has
2 editions (as mentioned earlier), with different headlines and text. Both copies have all the main sections (6 in
each copy), but not some of the non-news sections. There is one copy of the Times Magazine with
its iconic cover illustration. The Late
Edition has some residue from where a delivery label was carefully removed way
back when (as shown in the photo).

Sunday Oct. 7th has
all of the news sections and most of the other sections and includes the Times
Magazine. A front page story reports on
the retirement of Cap Ripkin, Jr.A note: Typical newsstand
copies of the Times came with somewhat uneven folds, with the edges of some
sections sticking out a little as a result. This is what you might notice
in some of the photos, but (as stated earlier) the issues have never been
opened nor read. This is why none of the issues were photographed
unfolded.The photos are of the exact copies
you will be receiving. Please examine all
photos carefully to confirm that it will be satisfactory. Please feel free to ask any questions.It will be shipped in a very
sturdy box with internal padding, in order to prevent any damage in
transit. Each edition will be packed in
the archival quality plastic bag that it has been stored in. Shipped promptly via USPS Media with
tracking. I can upgrade to Priority or another
service, if needed.Please note: We photograph items just before shipping as
proof of the condition.
