With this purchase, you get 20 pages of coverage by the Philadelphia Inquirer from January 8-10, 1996 and 16 pages of coverage in a Special Section published on January 14, 1996. Also included are 7 pages excerpted from The Reading Eagle’s (Pennsylvania, roughly 60 miles from Philadelphia) coverage in its January 9, 1996 edition. In addition to the jaw-dropping headlines of those days, you’ll also see other topical news stories covered, both locally and internationally, in addition to the local business advertisements and more that you’d expect in nearly 30-year-old newspapers. This purchase allows you to hold on to a critical part of the Philadelphia region’s weather history and read how it was covered in the days after the devastating events unfolding from the storm for a very reasonable price. Please see the pictures included here for the exact newspapers that you will receive upon purchase. They are in nearly-perfect, off-the-rack condition with sharp corners and edges and no significant creases, rips, markups, or other defects or signs of heavy use or aging apart from one small tear on the cover of the 1/8/1996 edition of the Inquirer which is visible in the picture. The newspapers have had only one owner through the years and have been stored in a plastic tub in a climate-controlled and smoke-free home. If you have additional questions or need additional pictures, please feel free to ask.
