Collecting old and rare newspapers that dished the dirt… | History's Newsstand Blog

The early muckrakers – collecting newspapers that dished the dirt… | History's Newsstand Blog:

"People collecting old and rare newspapers will give you many different reasons for their
hobbies. For some it’s about owning a little piece of history, for others it’s a way of connecting
to important date in their life – say a birthday or marriage – to something real. For some it’s
just that wonderful sense of smell and touch you get from handling something that was meant
to be thrown away – fragile, disposable, but now wonderfully evocative."
