Dear Richard,
thank you very much for letting us know about these volumes.
The Istituto Culturale Astrofili Spezzini maintains the “Camille Flammarion” Library, a nationally registered astronomical library in Italy. As part of our work, we are also actively recovering and preserving historical astronomical books, journals and archival material, both for study and for future public access.
We would therefore be very interested in the bound volumes of Astronomy Now, the RAS Quarterly Journal, and the older bound volumes of Monthly Notices of the RAS.
If it were possible to arrange shipment to Italy, we would of course be happy to cover the shipping costs ourselves, in addition to making the symbolic donation to the BAA that you mentioned.
Please let me know whether this could be feasible and, if so, what the approximate number, weight or size of the parcels might be, so that we can evaluate the best shipping option.
Thank you again for thinking of a possible new home for this material. We would be very pleased to preserve it within our astronomical library.
With best wishes,
