I just spent the last hour or so (~3:30am - 5:00am) making 2 1/35 Life magazines. "Making" because I had to get a back cover for it. I then had to figure out the size needed and scale it down and print it out, fix it, s ale it down or up some more, find out I made it way too big, fix again and then try to glue only the edges while holding box on perfect alignment. I'm sure at least some of you guys know what I'm talking about. It was tough and surprisingly nerve wracking. I used a Chesterfield cigarette ad for the back covers as I could find no pictures of the back cover for the Life issue for April 9, 1945. If anyone knows what the back cover was, I'd really like to know so I know if I'm a bit accurate.

Pictures later. I only realized after that the way I glued the two pieces together could make for a good magazine spine.

Whoops. I mean "I" instead of "u."
